<human>: Over 8 months ago I was diagnosed with Lymphadentitis. Found out because I vomited blood one morning. I was told that I would be cured after 6 months. I still have sharp pains and have to still be on medication. Ive had major headaches over the past year which has caused me to be on medication aswell. Thursday night my stomach and head started to sharply hurt. The stomach pain is still located in the right side as it was 8 months ago. Friday morning I still had the pain and then my right ear started to hurt. I haven t had much of an appetite. What s wrong?
<bot>: Hi Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Before answering your question I would like to clear some facts:-The lymph system is a network of lymph nodes, lymph ducts, lymph vessels, and organs that produce and move a fluid called lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. The lymph glands, or nodes, are small structures that filter the lymph fluid. There are many white blood cells in the lymph nodes to help fight infection. Lymphadenitis occurs when the glands become enlarged by swelling (inflammation), often in response to bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The swollen glands are usually found near the site of an infection, tumor, or inflammation. Lymphadenitis may occur after skin infections or other infections caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus. Sometimes it is caused by rare infections such as tuberculosis or cat scratch disease (Antonella). Going throw your history, which is provided here, I think your lymphadenitis is tubercular origin, and it is in Abdomen Can you explain to me the location of Lymph Node and what was the Investigation was done at time.... For example If any Lymph node in Intro abdominal it will come on Ultrasound or in CE CT (Contrast Enhance C T) Abdomen. If Lymph Nodes externally then it was come through FNAC or Biopsy. If Lymph Node still persists and not reducing in Now do you an Ultrasound of Whole abdomen and compare with size of lymph node in previous Ultrasound. IF YOU ARE TAKING ANTI-TUBERCULAR Chat Doctor.
