If the patient has swollen lymph nodes caused by bacterial infection, and the lymph nodes are red, swollen, painful, or even have pus on the surface, he can take cephalosporin antibiotics, such as cefradine and cefixime, and also quinolone antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, or even moxifloxacin, which need to be taken for about a week. It should also be combined with the remission of lymph node inflammation. If the pain is relieved, the surface redness and swelling subsides, and the enlarged lymph nodes shrink, you can consider stopping the medication. If the lymph nodes become enlarged or suppurate during the treatment, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time and make a surgical incision to drain the pus if necessary. If the swollen lymph nodes are caused by tumor metastasis, it is useless to take anti-inflammatory drugs, and if necessary, the lymph nodes should be removed and sent for pathological examination.
