Neck pain when swallowing saliva is lymphoma

Neck pain when swallowing is generally not caused by lymphoma, but may be caused by diseases such as acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis, thyroiditis, etc.

1. Acute pharyngitis:

Acute pharyngitis is an acute inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa, submucosal tissue and lymphatic tissue. After the disease occurs, the pharynx will become dry and burning, leading to mucosal irritation when swallowing saliva and neck pain. At this time, patients can choose drugs such as acetaminophen, Liushen Pills, Yinhuang Tablets, etc. to relieve it.

2. Tonsillitis:

Tonsillitis is a nonspecific inflammation of the palatine tonsils and a common upper respiratory tract infectious disease. Throat pain and swelling will occur after the disease. Swallowing saliva will irritate the mucous membrane and cause neck pain. Generally speaking, patients can choose to have their tonsils removed surgically.

3. Thyroiditis:

Thyroiditis is a heterogeneous disease involving the thyroid gland. It is mainly caused by damage to the thyroid follicles due to autoimmunity, viral infection, bacteria, fungi, etc., which causes neck pain when swallowing. At this time, patients can choose aspirin, ibuprofen, anti-inflammatory drugs and other drugs to relieve it.

Neck pain when swallowing saliva may also be caused by cervical lymphadenitis, and the patient must go to the hospital in time.
