1. How long does it take for swollen lymph nodes to go away?

Cervical lymphadenitis is often secondary to inflammation of surrounding tissues. Tonsillitis and upper respiratory tract infections require one or two weeks of standard treatment to recover. Some cases may develop into chronic lymphadenitis, and the swollen lymph nodes may not subside for a long time. The pain will be relieved or disappear after the use of antibiotics, indicating that the condition is under control. It is best to apply local hot compresses and take Chinese herbal medicine for standard treatment for 2 weeks when necessary, and check regularly.

3. Folk remedies for treating swollen lymph nodes

1. First, we need to determine the cause of the patient's swollen lymph nodes. There are many types of swollen lymph nodes. The secret recipe in this article has only been proven to be effective in treating benign lymph node cysts. Therefore, you must go to the hospital to check and determine the specific type of swelling before deciding whether to use this method. In addition, even if it is a benign lymph node cyst, once it develops into a purulent cyst or the skin at the swollen area is damaged, this method is not allowed.

2. If Strychnos nux vomica is produced locally, pick the fruits when they are ripe, remove the Strychnos nux vomica inside the fruits and get the fresh fruit shells. Mash the fresh fruit shell into a paste, then add salt and mix well (the amount of salt added is one-fifth of the amount of Strychnos nux vomica shell), and apply the paste to the affected area. Apply twice a day, morning and evening, for more than 2 hours each time. Continue applying until the cyst disappears completely. Continue applying for one week to eliminate the root cause.

3. For areas where strychnine is not produced, or when strychnine fruits are not in season, strychnine can be used directly as medicine. Go to a Chinese medicine store and buy some strychnine. Find a casserole, add the strychnine into the pot, then add water at a ratio of 1:20 by weight of strychnine to water. Then simmer over low heat until only half of the water is left and then turn off the heat. Find a glass bottle to put the boiled juice in, and use this juice to apply to the swollen lymph nodes when you are free, with an interval of about 10 minutes between each application, and apply it at least 6 times a day.
