What medicine can treat lymph nodes
The lymphatic system is an important immune defense system of the human body. Enlarged lymph nodes or lymphoid-related diseases may be caused by infection, inflammation, tumors and other reasons. There are different treatments for different causes. The following is a compilation of content related to lymphatic disease treatment in hot topics across the Internet in the past 10 days, and a structured analysis combined with medical advice.
1. Common types of lymphatic diseases and corresponding drugs
| disease type | Common causes | therapeutic drugs | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| lymphadenitis | bacterial/viral infection | Antibiotics (such as cephalosporins), antiviral drugs (such as acyclovir) | The type of pathogen needs to be clarified |
| Lymph node tuberculosis | Mycobacterium tuberculosis | Isoniazid + rifampicin + ethambutol (triple therapy) | Long-term standardized treatment is required |
| Lymphoma | malignant tumor | Chemotherapy drugs (CHOP regimen), targeted drugs (rituximab) | A plan needs to be formulated after pathological classification |
| autoimmune lymphatic disease | immune abnormalities | Glucocorticoids (such as prednisone), immunosuppressants | Immune function needs to be monitored |
2. Lymphatic treatment drugs that have been hotly discussed recently
According to data from social media and medical forums in the past 10 days, the following drugs have received relatively high attention:
| Drug name | Indications | heat index | Hot topic |
|---|---|---|---|
| PD-1 inhibitors | Hodgkin lymphoma | ★★★★☆ | New progress in immunotherapy |
| BTK inhibitor (ibrutinib) | B cell lymphoma | ★★★☆☆ | Targeted therapy side effect management |
| Traditional Chinese Medicine Compound (Xiaojin Pills) | swollen lymph nodes | ★★★☆☆ | Controversy over the efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine |
3. Medication precautions
1.Strictly follow medical advice: Lymphatic diseases need to be diagnosed clearly first. For example, lymphoma requires pathological biopsy to confirm the classification.
2.Be wary of drug interactions: For example, rituximab may worsen hepatitis B virus infection
3.Focus on emerging treatments: CAR-T cell therapy achieves breakthrough in relapsed/refractory lymphoma (latest data from 2023 ASCO meeting)
4. Answers to Frequently Asked Questions by Patients
| question | Professional answers |
|---|---|
| Can swollen lymph nodes heal on their own? | Infectious swelling may heal on its own, but may require medical attention if it persists for more than 2 weeks. |
| Can Chinese medicine replace chemotherapy? | Malignant tumors must be treated in a standardized manner, and traditional Chinese medicine is only auxiliary |
| How should I eat during treatment? | High protein and easy to digest, avoid raw food during chemotherapy |
5. Prevention and daily care suggestions
1. Regular physical examination: especially EBV antibody test (related to lymphoma)
2. Enhance immunity: ensure sleep and moderate exercise
3. Be alert for abnormal signals: painless lymphadenopathy, persistent low-grade fever, etc.

New technologies for lymphatic therapy that have been hotly discussed recently include bispecific antibodies and ADC drugs (antibody drug conjugates).
