Can cervical lymphadenopathy be cured? How to treat it?

Cervical lymphadenopathy is a very dangerous disease. It may not only take away the patient's precious life, but may also be transmitted to other people. For such a dangerous disease, once it occurs, it must be actively treated. Some patients may worry that the disease cannot be cured, and they ask: Can cervical lymphadenopathy be cured?

1. Pay proper attention to nutrition and rest.

2. Systemic anti-tuberculosis treatment.

3. Treatment of local tuberculous lymph nodes. A small number of localized, larger, and movable lymph nodes can be removed surgically. For those with cold abscesses, ulcers or sinus tracts, the pus can be drained and anti-tuberculosis drugs can be injected into the cavity, or the tuberculosis lesions can be removed and the dressings replaced with anti-tuberculosis drugs and wait for the wound to heal. If necessary, surgical removal can also be performed.

Generally, there are multiple enlarged lymph nodes of varying sizes located at the anterior and posterior edges of the sternocleidomastoid muscles on one or both sides. As described in the overview, the above-mentioned lesions at different stages may appear simultaneously in the lymph nodes of the same patient.

Medication principles

1. Early mild cases can take isoniazid orally for six months to one year, and intramuscularly inject streptomycin for 1-2 months.

2. If there are still a few localized, larger, and movable lymph nodes after the above-mentioned tuberculosis treatment, they can be surgically removed.

3. Patients with cold abscesses or chronic fistulas or sinus tracts can use rifampicin or rifadin alone or in combination.
