Can Lymphocele Be Treated With Medicines?
Hi , i just stumbled on the site and thought to use it .
I am 29 years old male.
i woke up yesterday and noticed my submandibular region on the right side appeared to be swollen.
i attempted a self examination and the swelling was diffuse, soft , non tender , non adherent to overlying skin.I could not discern its margins but the overlying skin was normal.
i had only running nose for two days, no other symptomps( no fever, no couch..etc).I rushed to my hospital where an echo was done and suspected a lumphocele or TB but surprisingly no tests were done and no medication given.i was adviced to take appointment for a surgical removal of the swelling .But given that i have exams coming up and am not in my own country right now, i am not too willing to go for a surgery .
My querries are - if it is a lymphocele is there any medication i could try?
- I had BCG vaccination as a child, what are my chances of getting TB ?
- will an FNAC help at this point instead of a total excison?
- If i am asymptomatic can i wait and see if the swelling increses or not?
thanks to whoever is going to answer,
