If the swollen lymph nodes are mild, they will get better naturally after a period of time, or they can be cured by taking some ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs or getting some anti-inflammatory injections. Antibiotics such as amoxicillin, cephalexin, or erythromycin combined with levofloxacin should be given for anti-infection treatment.

Amoxicillin, also known as amoxicillin or anmoxicillin, is one of the most commonly used semi-synthetic penicillin-type broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotics. It is a white powder with a half-life of approximately 61.3 minutes. It is stable under acidic conditions and has a gastrointestinal absorption rate of 90%. Amoxicillin has a strong bactericidal effect and a strong ability to penetrate cell membranes. It is one of the most widely used oral semi-synthetic penicillins. Its preparations include capsules, tablets, granules, dispersible tablets, etc. It is now often used in combination with clavulanic acid to make dispersible tablets.

Levofloxacin, a type of quinolone drug, has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect and strong antibacterial effect. It has strong antibacterial activity against most Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Shigella, and Gram-negative bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella pneumophila, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It also has antibacterial effects on Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae, but its effect on anaerobic bacteria and enterococci is poor.

But if the swelling is severe and does not heal after long-term anti-inflammatory treatment, then Chinese medicine treatment is needed: first, to prevent it from further worsening, and second, the body needs it to restore its function, exert its immune and bactericidal effects, and enhance physical fitness. Traditional Chinese medicine can be fully considered. Use Chinese herbal pills that can dissipate blood stasis, resolve toxins and reduce swelling to treat lumps, bumps and inflammations. If you find the right one, it won't be difficult.

If you suffer from tonsillitis, tooth decay, finger infection, tinea pedis, carbuncle, etc., you should also take antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments or receive appropriate treatments in time to control the infection. You should pay attention to physical exercise and improve your physical fitness. The diet should be light, nutritionally balanced, and spicy foods should be avoided.
