What are the treatments for lymph nodes?

If a disease such as lymph node disease occurs, there is currently no medicine to completely cure it, and it can only be alleviated through targeted drugs. In addition to medication to relieve lymph nodes, auxiliary treatment can also be carried out through diet, such as taro powder soup, corrugated steamed chicken liver, purslane, chrysanthemum and mung bean porridge, etc., are all good choices.

As for the treatment of lymph node inflammation, Western medicine currently has no ability to reverse its pathology. Patients can only use antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, blocking injections, etc. to relieve symptoms, but cannot completely cure the disease fundamentally. In comparison, traditional Chinese medicine, which has always emphasized holistic treatment and treating the root cause of the disease, has long studied this disease and has achieved very ideal clinical treatment results with traditional black plasters that are good at clearing away heat and detoxifying, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
