Chronic lymphadenitis

Chronic lymphadenitis is mostly secondary to inflammatory lesions of the head, face and neck. Lymph nodes of varying degrees are scattered in the lateral cervical region or submandibular and subcondylar regions. May be slightly hard but smooth, able to move, and may have mild tenderness or discomfort. I don't need treatment for chronic lymphadenitis, so I should pay attention to look for the primary inflammation. In addition to the neck area, you should also carefully check the scalp, outer ears and oral cavity, tonsils, gums and other hidden parts. It is also possible to find the primary lesion by the lymph-accepting area of ​​the enlarged lymph node.
