What Could Be Causing A Lymphadenitis, A Cold Sore And A Lump Below The Neck?
Hi. I was diagnosed with Lymphadentitis yesterday because I have a large lump under my chin. The doctor asked had I had any break outs any where else and I replayed quickly No. Thinking back though, I realized about a week ago I had a lump on the out side of my vagina close to the cress of my leg. It had no head like a pimple. It was under the surface of the skin. It was not painful. I get them once every three or four months. When it goes away it shrinks until I can t feel it anymore. The usual size is about the size of the first space of my index finger. It has since shrunk to about a centimeter. It s seems that that lump went down and the one in my neck swelled. I don t know if there could be a connection. Also, I noticed the lump under my neck on Friday and it was small. Saturday I woke up with a cold sore. I can t remember a time when I have ever had a coldsore. Are these signs thats there is something bad that could be happening inside my body? Please advise.
* The reactive lymph node enlargement with inflammation is usually secondary to bacterial infection in the surrounding territory of lymph drainage.
* The basic treatment of bacterial or viral infection with a due course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs help to resolve the lymph issue over a period of time.
* Simultaneous intake of multivitamin, antioxidants and balanced nutritious diet help to control the infection as early as possible.
