What brings you in today?
Explanation
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck, also known as cervical lymphadenopathy, can be caused by infections or other conditions. Natural Approaches:
- Rest: Ensure you get plenty of rest to help your body fight off any infection.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids like water or herbal teas to stay hydrated.
- Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to the swollen area can help reduce discomfort.
While these methods can help, it's important to monitor your symptoms. If the swelling persists or you experience additional symptoms like fever or weight loss, consult a doctor. Persistent swollen lymph nodes may require further evaluation to rule out more serious conditions.
