Early symptoms of submandibular lymphoma

Submandibular lymphoma is a malignant tumor with various early symptoms, including swollen submandibular lymph nodes, persistent pain, loss of appetite, fever, fatigue, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take targeted treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Swollen submandibular lymph nodes: Early submandibular lymphoma often manifests as painless swelling of the submandibular lymph nodes, which are hard in texture. This symptom usually appears first and needs to be taken seriously. In order to confirm the diagnosis, the patient should seek medical attention in time for a lymph node biopsy to determine whether it is a malignant tumor. After the diagnosis is confirmed, under the guidance of the doctor, the patient may need treatment measures such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy to control the progression of the disease.

2. Persistent pain: Patients may experience persistent pain or discomfort in the submandibular area or surrounding area. The degree of pain may increase as the disease progresses. For this symptom, painkillers such as acetaminophen tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the pain. Patients must use medications as prescribed by the doctor to avoid adverse reactions and drug dependence.

3. Loss of appetite: Due to the impact of the tumor on the body, patients often experience loss of appetite and even weight loss. This will not only affect the patient's quality of life, but may also aggravate the condition. In order to improve this situation, patients should receive nutritional support treatment and, if necessary, use nutritional supplements such as compound vitamin tablets under the guidance of a doctor to ensure the nutrition needed by the body.

4. Fever: Patients with early submandibular lymphoma may experience unexplained fever, which is often difficult to control with conventional methods. For this symptom, patients should use antipyretic drugs, such as ibuprofen tablets, under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, detailed examinations are required to clarify the specific cause of the fever and treat the cause.

5. Fatigue: Patients may feel general fatigue and even unable to carry out normal daily activities. This symptom is often related to the cancer itself and the side effects of the treatment. To relieve this symptom, patients should pay attention to rest and avoid overwork. If necessary, supportive treatment can be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, such as injection of vitamin B12 injection, to enhance physical strength.

Patients should pay attention to seek medical treatment in time and take appropriate treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively improve the treatment effect and quality of life.
