How does thyroid cancer cause lymphadenitis?

Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the thyroid follicular epithelium or parafollicular cells. There are many causes of lymphadenitis, including anti-pathogenic microbial therapy, radiotherapy, drug therapy, surgical treatment, etc. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time and choose the appropriate treatment method according to different conditions.

1. Anti-pathogenic microbial treatment: If thyroid cancer with lymphadenitis is caused by bacterial infection, sensitive antibiotics can be selected for treatment based on the results of drug sensitivity tests. Commonly used drugs include injection of ceftriaxone sodium, injection of penicillin sodium, etc. For thyroid cancer with lymphadenitis caused by viral infection, antiviral drugs are generally required for treatment, such as ribavirin injection, etc.;

2. Radiotherapy: It is the preferred treatment for thyroid cancer with lymphadenitis. Once thyroid cancer is diagnosed, radiotherapy can be used according to the needs of the disease.

3. Drug treatment: Lymphadenitis in patients with thyroid cancer is usually caused by abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones, which leads to decreased immunity. It can be treated with drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets. If the pain symptoms are severe, drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules can also be used to relieve pain;

4. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is the main treatment for thyroid cancer with lymphadenitis. Once thyroid cancer is confirmed, radical thyroidectomy, lymph node dissection and other surgeries can be performed according to the needs of the disease.

In addition to the above situations, thyroid cancer patients with lymphadenitis may also cause fever, chills, fatigue and other systemic symptoms, which can be treated symptomatically according to clinical manifestations. In daily life, we should also pay attention to maintaining good living habits and avoid excessive fatigue, colds, etc., which will help improve the condition.
