Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes Under The Chin
I have swollen lymph nodes under my chin, and I have had 3 blood tests and each time the RBC, Hemoglobin, and Hematocrit results keep getting a little lower RBC is L-4.00, Hemoglobin is L-121, and Hematocrit is L-0.36. Also my Monocytes is H-0.9, and TIBC is H-74. And thoughts as to what this may mean?

Chin lymph nodes are usually enlarged due to local infection. These nodal swellings usually take time to resolve completely even after clearance of infection
Advice
1. Cefixime 100 mg daily per oral daily for 7 days
2. Ibuprofen 600 mg per oral after meal if pain occurs
3. Investigation
a. Complete blood count
b. Hemoglobin%
c. ESR
If after 7 days course of cefixime, your chin swelling does not resolve then get done Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) of lymph node and chest X – ray PA view.
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
