Lymph nodes are one of the important immune organs of the human body, located in various parts of the body, and their main function is to aggregate and produce lymphocytes and participate in the immune response. However, when lymph nodes are abnormal and swollen, it may cause a series of symptoms that can cause trouble in our lives and physical health. Here, as an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I will introduce you to the symptoms of swollen lymph nodes and provide some effective treatment methods based on the theory of Chinese medicine and ancient and modern prescriptions.
The main symptoms of swollen lymph nodes are:
1.Pain in the swollen area: When the lymph nodes are swollen, the surrounding tissues are compressed, which can easily cause pain and discomfort. The degree and extent of the pain will vary depending on the extent and location of the swelling.
2.Lump sensation: After lymph nodes are swollen, a lump may be felt when touched. The texture of the lump may be soft, firm, or fixed, depending on the situation.
