Causes of cervical lymphatic pain
1. lymphoma
Lymphatic system is the body's natural defense organization, which can resist infection and toxin invasion. Superficial lymph nodes exist in the neck, armpit, groin, behind the knee and before and after the ear. The most common cause of lymphadenopathy is infection. The location of swelling depends on the location of infection. Laryngeal and ear infections may lead to cervical lymph node enlargement, and head infections may lead to retroauricular lymph node enlargement; Hand or arm infection can enlarge axillary lymph nodes; Infections in the feet and legs can lead to swollen inguinal lymph nodes. The most common disease is cervical lymphadenopathy. This part is easy to notice, and you can rest assured after going to the hospital for examination.
2. Inflammation of lymph nodes
This may be due to local lymph node inflammation or local lymph node enlargement caused by local cancer metastasis. Accompanied by local tenderness. Avoid excessive stimulation of local skin at ordinary times, keep local skin clean, take a reasonable rest at the same time, and give local tissue biopsy when it is inappropriate to rule out local cancer.
3. Inflammation
Generally, lymphadenopathy with pain is mostly caused by inflammatory stimulation, which is more common in infection of adjacent organs and tissues. Lymph node enlargement caused by cancer has a long course, often accompanied by emaciation, so we should pay attention to syndrome differentiation. It is recommended to avoid anxiety and nervousness. If the symptoms are obvious, you can temporarily take amoxicillin and ibuprofen orally. And go to the hospital for further blood routine and color Doppler ultrasound examination of local masses to find out the cause.
4. Malignant lymphoma
It can also be seen in any age group, and its lymph node enlargement is often painless, from soybean to jujube, with medium hardness. Generally, it is not attached to the skin, but it does not fuse with each other in the early and middle stages and can move. Advanced lymph nodes can grow very large, or they can fuse into large blocks with a diameter of more than 20cm, invade the skin, and will not heal for a long time after rupture. In addition, it can also invade mediastinum, liver, spleen and other organs, including lung, digestive tract, bone, skin, breast, nervous system and so on.
Clinical manifestations of cervical lymphatic pain
1. Systemic symptoms: Acute lymphadenitis usually includes chills, fever, fatigue, general malaise and loss of appetite.
2. Symptoms of primary infection focus: sore throat, swallowing pain, sore throat, cough, toothache, etc.
3. Local symptoms: one or two cervical lymph nodes are swollen, tender, moderate in quality, smooth in surface and movable. The number and size of swollen lymph nodes vary, mostly from broad bean to thumb size. Acute lymphadenitis often has redness, fever and pain.

After anti-infection treatment, the lymph nodes have shrunk, but they can still be felt, active and without tenderness.
Suggestions on cervical lymphatic pain
1, drink more yogurt: adhere to a balanced diet, if people have alcoholism, mental stress or unbalanced diet, it will weaken people's disease resistance. To correct this imbalance, we must rely on health-preserving bacteria, which are contained in yogurt.
2, drink more boiled water: remember, it is boiled water! This can keep the mucosa in the nasal cavity and oral cavity moist; Drinking more water can also make people refreshed and energetic. Studies have proved that boiled water has ideal physiological activity on human metabolism. Water is easily absorbed by human body through cell membrane, which enhances the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in human organs, thus effectively improving human body's disease resistance and immunity. Especially the first cup of cold boiled water in the morning is particularly important.
3, eat more seafood: seafood is rich in iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper and so on. Regular consumption can promote immune function.
4. Drink tea regularly: Scientists have found that tea contains a chemical called theanine. Because it can mobilize human immune cells to resist bacteria, fungi and viruses, and can improve human anti-infection ability by more than 5 times.
