What are the odds of curing lymph nodes infections? how is it done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quite often an: infection is not in the actual lymph nodes. Often the reason the lymph nodes are swollen is because of infection or inflammation of an area that drains lymphatic fluid into that region of lymph nodes. In that situation -you would need to address the actual problem - as opposed to the nodes.
