Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having lymph node enlargement.
Answers and suggestions for your queries.
1. Painful lymph nodes in neck always suggests infection from ear, nose and throat infections. Associated with fatigue suggests nutritional deficiencies or lymphoma.
2. Periodic infection of sebaceous cyst also causes lymph node enlargement, mastectomy with removal of lymph nodes or trauma to lymph nodes also causes lymph edema followed by lymph node enlargement.
In my opinion, you need to first consult ent surgeon for detailed ent examination, laryngoscopy (lesions of throat can also cause lymph node enlargement), complete blood picture with esr (tuberculosis), fine needle aspiration cytology (lymphoma,tuberculosis), if necessary x- ray chest. depending on the examination findings, treatment can be started.
Chronic sebaceous cyst need to be removed surgically.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
