I have had swollen posterior cervical lymph nodes for 6 months. They are hard, tender, and movable. I have no scalp itchiness, but my doctor says it is a scalp infection. FNAC report shows reactive changes, and my blood report is normal. What should I do?

Reactive lymph nodes usually indicate past infection or inflammation. If swelling persists more than 6 months, even if non cancerous, further evaluation is wise. Rule out TB or autoimmune causes.

Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

View allI have small lymph node enlargement all over my body, mostly near both ears (front and back), both sides of the neck under jaw, both armpits, and inguinal region for more than 1.75 years? I visited many doctors, including CMC Vellore in the hematology department? They told me blood work is normal, and since the lymph nodes are small, they cannot perform FNAC? My blood report and USG of the whole abdomen are normal? They said to come back only if the size increases; otherwise, nothing to worry? They also referred me to surgery and infectious disease departments? Their opinion was almost the same: if size increases, then come? I am living in confusion and do not understand what to do? My armpit lymph nodes are painful and lingering all the time? I visited many doctors in Kolkata, but there is no solution? Kindly suggest what I can do, as I can feel these lymph nodes and pain over certain areas like armpits, under jaw, and in front of ears? I am also diagnosed with retraction of ear drum?

Hello Sir, I have attached two copies of my report of lymph node behind my ear. I am taking different antibiotics for the past 3 weeks. I am having fever once a day around 100 degree and headache. The doctor has said if it is not cured it has to be removed surgically as it is a bacterial infection. Please suggest the best treatment you have in homeopathy or if I have to remove it surgically?
