Lymphadenitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lymphadenitis is the inflammation of one or more lymph nodes, generally as a response to a nearby infection. The lymph nodes are part of the body's defense system and can swell when they fight microorganisms.
Common symptoms: enlarged and painful nodes, redness or warmth in the area, sometimes fever and general malaise.
Common causes: infections from bacteria or viruses in the throat, skin, ears, or teeth are usually behind the picture.
Which specialist treats it? The internist and the infectious disease physician evaluate the origin of the lymphadenitis and guide the workup. When the nodes enlarge, hurt, or do not go away over time, it is advisable to have a professional check them to determine the cause.
