Suggest Home Remedies For Swollen Occipital Lymph Nodes
Hi I have some sores on my scalp that i believe are infected....but what I m really worried about is both of My occipital lymph nodes are quite enlarged.. The one on the right side is about 4 fingers long and 3 fingers wide and is kinda painful. I also have 2 small pea sized lumps on the left Side of my neck close to my collerbone and a dime sized lump on the right Side of my neck in between my ear and .also right behind both of my ears towards the top it s slightly swollen and tender. I am a 28 year old female and I m quite worried because I don t have health insurance and don t know what to do.. Is there any home remedies that would help? Thank you in advance for anything you can tell me

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to reactive lymph nodes due to the infection. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three tablets a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
