Causes of axillary lymph node pain

Pain in the axillary lymph nodes is likely caused by some bacterial infection. For example, many people may develop nodules, swelling and pain in the axillary neck or axillary area after catching a cold or getting infected.

1. In people's lives, after catching a cold or other infection, nodules the size of glass balls may appear on the neck, behind the ears, under the armpits or in the groin. The local area is red, swollen and tender, and hard when pressed. This is lymphadenitis. Lymphadenitis is caused by bacteria invading the lymph nodes along the lymphatic vessels. However, not everyone will develop lymphadenitis when encountering bacterial infection. This disease is only likely to occur when the body's resistance is reduced. When long-term malnutrition, anemia and other chronic diseases significantly reduce resistance, lymphadenitis is likely to occur after bacterial infection. The bacteria that cause this disease are often Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic Streptococcus.

2. Acute lymphadenitis often occurs secondary to other suppurative infectious diseases. Lymph nodes swell rapidly and become tender. If the patient has strong resistance, there may be no systemic symptoms and the disease can heal on its own without treatment. In more serious cases, there will be local redness, swelling, heat and pain, accompanied by chills, fever, headache and other symptoms. The redness and swelling will subside through timely antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment, but sometimes inflammation causes tissue hyperplasia, which may leave a small nodule. If the inflammation is not controlled in time, it will spread to the lymph nodes and adhere to each other, and in severe cases, abscesses may form. If not treated promptly, it can cause sepsis. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examination in time.

3. If the lymphadenitis is mild, it will get better naturally after a period of time; or you can take some ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs or get some anti-inflammatory injections and it will get better. This is not a problem. But if the swelling is severe and does not heal after long-term anti-inflammatory treatment, then Chinese medicine treatment is needed: first, to prevent it from further worsening, and second, the body needs it to restore its function, exert its immune and bactericidal effects, and enhance physical fitness. Traditional Chinese medicine can be fully considered. Use Chinese herbal pills that can dissipate blood stasis, resolve toxins and reduce swelling to treat lumps, bumps and inflammations.
