Patients with swollen lymph nodes in the neck can take different types of anti-inflammatory drugs orally depending on the severity. If the swollen lymph nodes in the neck are caused by local superficial skin and soft tissue infection, and the local inflammation is mild, accompanied only by local redness, pain and lymph node hyperplasia, anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin capsule and swelling pain can be taken orally to control local infection and relieve pain, and the swollen lymph nodes can subside more quickly. If the patient is suffering from acute purulent tonsillitis, oral ulcers and other purulent infections, resulting in swollen lymph nodes in the neck. Anti-inflammatory drugs with strong anti-infective effects such as cefixime, metronidazole tablets and cefotaxime sodium need to be taken orally in order to control the local infection symptoms and relieve the swollen and painful lymph nodes. For patients with more serious infections, intravenous anti-infection treatment is needed in combination with intravenous anti-infection treatment if necessary to achieve better treatment results.
