What is the best way to treat rapid big swollen nodes and jaw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below : Depends on reason for enlargement of lymph node and location. If it is an infectious nodes then treat infection . If it is suspicious for lymphoma (less likely) then a biopsy is needed. Then according to the type of lymphoma we usually recommend monitoring for less aggressive ones and chemo for more aggressive lymphomas. In either way you need to see a doctor for this.
