What Causes Hives And Swollen Lymph Nodes On Right Upper Body
Hello. My wife has recently (2-3 days) developed urticaria( right breast, right shoulder and right upper trap). Tonight while examining her painful neck I noticed a painful soft/ movable lymph node in the posterior cervical chain. It is less than 1 cm in size. How conserned should we be? I realize this can be occur due to many different causes. The presentation of both hives and swollen lymph nodes has me very concerned. Is this a common presentation? Antihistamines don t seem to be effective in reducing her hives. No fever, night sweats, fatigue or other odd symptoms gave occurred. Thank you for your help. Regards, Conserned husband and father
Hey, I have reviewed your query. I am not convinced that this is hives. It looks more like shingles.
I woule recommend you to visit a doctor to get it examined properly. Pain and rash on one side is suggestive of Shingles. I would recommend you using Pregabalin 75mg at bedtime for pain.
You can upload rash picture for me to diagnose it properly.
Get well soon. Regards, Dr. Munaim
