Question 1

clindamycin when will my lymph nodes go back to normal?

Accepted Answer

They just monitor: Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 2

can clindamycin hcl be used to treat swollen lymph nodes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Swollen lymph nodes mean your immune system is activated. This is most often related to an infection. Your doctor is treating you for an infection, and if that is what is causing your lymph nodes to swell, they'll go down!

Question 3

how long on clindamycin for throat swelling and discomfort to go away? on day 2 1/2 and no improvements...lymph nodes feel swollen now too.

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the problem is from a germ which responds to Clindamycin, you should see result by the 4th day.  However I suspect that infection may not the the cause, and thus the recovery time would depend on whether the cause has been eliminated.  If it is from a viral infection, the symptoms should subside from 10-21 days in most instances.

Question 4

i was already treated for dental abscess by extraction. and prescribed clindamycin. there is yellow stuff at the site and my lymph node in jaw is still swollen. 2 days since extraction. everything okay?

Accepted Answer

Post Extraction Care: Good day;
   Hard to evaluate symptoms without examining you; however, contact dentist who removed tooth, share your concerns with him and insist on an appointment to evaluate situation!

Question 5

tooth #19 root abscess; extracted and bone graft. two months later swollen lymph nodes and hard lump angle of jaw. on clindamycin.did abscess spread?

Accepted Answer

Hard lumps: It is really hard to tell where your infection may be coming from, but among the list of possibilities is that your body rejected the bone graft, there may be another tooth along your bottom jaw infected, your gums may be infected, you may have an infection elsewhere in your head, or the lumps are not infection. Best to see your dentist to give definitive answers. I hope the best for you.

Question 6

i have taken oral and iv clindamycin and iv azithromycin and still have group a strep with lymph nodes in the lumbar region of the left submandibular gland and a cyst in the right maxillary sinus. my white cell count has continued to elevate from 16.0 to

Accepted Answer

ID consult: Get to a board certified Infectious Disease expert. These are very serious symptoms and require in depth analysis and studies. Call ASAP!

Question 7

i am having laser tattoo removal on the back of my neck. i had my first session two weeks ago , its healing very well however i noticed a round hard painful lump at the base of my skull back of neck. swollen lymph node??

Accepted Answer

: You are likely correct. Any disturbance of the skin surface as would be in tattoo removal may trigger enlargement of local nodes that can persist for a few weeks.

Question 8

what are the normal lymph node sizes?

Accepted Answer

What is "Normal": Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They come in all sizes from pea to lima bean.  The are not usually easily felt.

Question 9

how serious are lymph node enlargements?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: Lymph nodes help to fight off a variety of illnesses, including infections, non-infectious inflammations, cancer, etc.  The severity depends on what caused them to enlarge.

Question 10

have a lymph node but why it did not hurt?

Accepted Answer

Lymph node: We all have lymph nodes. They can swell in response to inflammation or infection. Swollen nodes may or may not be uncomfortable with pressure. If you have chronically enlarged nodes that would warrant evaluation.
