Causes of cervical lymphadenitis:

(1) Inflammation Acute cases are characterized by redness, pain, and heat, with rapid onset and local tenderness. The swelling will subside after anti-inflammatory treatment. Chronic cases have a long course of disease, are active, non-tender, and are often located in the submandibular area.

(2) Tuberculosis. It can be primary or secondary to tuberculosis lesions in the abdominal cavity. The course of the disease is long. The enlarged lymph nodes are in the form of strings, with medium texture, movable, and no tenderness. They can adhere to each other into clumps. If caseous necrosis occurs, fistulas will form if they rupture.

(3) Metastatic malignant tumors. It is one of the causes of cervical lymphadenopathy. The primary lesions are mostly located in the head and neck. The lumps gradually increase in size, become hard, have poor mobility, and are not tender. They are often unilateral but may also affect both sides. Nasopharyngeal cancer, tonsil cancer, and laryngeal cancer often metastasize to the supraclavicular lymph nodes. Cancers of the nose, paranasal sinuses, mouth, and face often invade the submandibular lymph nodes, and esophageal cancer metastasizes to the supraclavicular lymph nodes.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the causes of cervical lymph node inflammation. Therefore, when treating such diseases, we can proceed according to the above reasons. However, it should be noted that the treatment of this type of disease also requires a long time, so you should not be too anxious during treatment.
