What is the cause of thyroid cancer neck swelling and fever

Swelling of the neck and fever caused by thyroid cancer may be caused by thyroid cancer metastasis, thyroiditis, upper respiratory tract infection, etc. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Metastasis of thyroid cancer: If thyroid cancer metastasizes to the lungs, it may cause lung inflammation, resulting in fever. When the tumor compresses the recurrent laryngeal nerve, it may cause difficulty breathing, resulting in neck swelling. At this time, you can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as imatinib mesylate tablets for targeted treatment, or you can treat it by surgical resection;

2. Thyroiditis: Inflammatory reactions caused by bacterial or viral infections can lead to local tissue congestion and edema, resulting in neck swelling and fever. At this time, you can take amoxicillin capsules, cefixime capsules and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by your doctor;

3. Upper respiratory tract infection: It may be caused by a decrease in the body's resistance and infection by viruses or bacteria, which can lead to an inflammatory reaction in the throat, resulting in symptoms such as sore throat and cough. If the condition is more serious, a fever may occur. When the inflammation stimulates the cervical lymph nodes, it will cause swelling of the neck. At this time, you can take antiviral oral liquid, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by the doctor;

4. Other reasons: diseases such as tonsillitis and acute pharyngitis can also cause the above symptoms. Tonsillitis is usually caused by bacterial infection, while acute pharyngitis is usually caused by viral infection. When pathogens invade the human body, they will trigger an inflammatory response, resulting in a fever. When inflammation repeatedly stimulates the tonsils or throat, it will cause local tissue congestion and edema, resulting in a swollen neck. At this time, you can take amoxicillin clavulanate potassium tablets, Qingkailing granules and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by the doctor.

In daily life, you should pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, you should also pay attention to drinking plenty of water and getting enough sleep, which is conducive to recovery.
