Coughing sputum with blood streaks and swollen lymph nodes under the jaw

There is a lymphatic system in the neck area, which can control the body's detoxification. If too many toxins accumulate in the body, it will cause swollen lymph nodes. Some people have long-term coughs and the sputum they spit out contains blood. This may be caused by inflammation in certain parts of the body and should be checked and treated in time. Let’s take a look at what happens when you cough up phlegm with blood?

Active chest X-ray or CT examination is needed. It is a common symptom, which is more common in diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung abscess, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, and heart disease. After symptoms of coughing up blood appear, on the one hand, the bleeding should be treated in time, and on the other hand, the cause of the coughing up blood should be actively found, and the cause should be examined in the hospital and treated.

This needs to be checked. Bronchitis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, etc. may cause this symptom. To identify these diseases, you need to go to the respiratory department of the hospital for a lung CT scan or chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. Only after the diagnosis is confirmed can treatment be started to avoid misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment.

Bloody nasal discharge and swollen lymph nodes do not necessarily mean nasopharyngeal cancer. Any infection of the head and neck may cause swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Bloody nasal discharge is very common in the dry and cold winter. It is usually caused by cracks and bleeding in the nasopharynx or nasal mucosa. It is recommended to do a CT scan of the nasopharynx. If no thickening or mass formation of the nasopharyngeal soft tissue is found, and no abnormal signs such as shallowing, narrowing, or deformation of the pharyngeal recess and the Eustachian tube pharyngeal opening are found, nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be ruled out.

If you suffer from lymphadenitis, you should choose the appropriate antibiotic for treatment based on the specific location of the inflammation and the bacteria causing it. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify which part of the body is inflamed and what kind of inflammation it is. There are two types of inflammation: nonspecific and specific. It may be that lymphadenitis and lymphadenopathy are related to inflammation, tuberculosis, tumors, etc. It is recommended to check and confirm the diagnosis. You can also take symptomatic anti-inflammatory treatment, such as taking roxithromycin and cefuroxime capsules. You can also seek Chinese medicine for syndrome differentiation and treatment with Chinese medicine or take Luoli pills.
