Hello

Thanks for consulting to H.C.M.

I read your query regarding small glandular nodes in neck of your wife. Though you had already checked your wife by ENT specialist, who had done blood work and X-Ray but no definitive diagnosis is made till now.

Here I would like to tell you that enlarge lymph nodes in neck may be diagnose for particular disease by-

1- FNAC from node in neck.

2- Excisional biopsy of one of the node.

These above are the method to know about nodes, If any pathological condition is diagnosed than that will be treated accordingly.

Some times FNAC or biopsy is reported as non specific reactive hyperplasia. This is a non pathological condition and here hyperplasia is due to enlargement of lymph node as a result of fibrosis due to previous infection.

I hope your query is explained.

Regards.
