What Causes Night Sweats Along With Swollen And Tender Lymph Nodes In Neck?
I m having night sweats drenching my clothes and bedding 4-5 times a night. I ve lost 32 lbs without trying since sept. The lymph nodes in my neck are swollen and tender. No appetite but I feel better after eating. Fatique. I m 55 female. Blood pressure ranges from 160/80 down to 106/56. What could be going on?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of night sweats along with swollen and tender lymph nodes in neck which seems to be due to strep throat which is a bacterial infection.But there can be other causes also like viral pharyngitis , allergic reaction or lymphadenopathy . I would suggest you to
- Antibiotics are first line of treatment option in this case. In case of mild fever you can take Calpol or paracetamol for relief as well as it will relieve throat pain too. - Avoid spicy and rough food. Take diet rich in soft food. - Sip on lukewarm water and take throat lozenges. - Take anti inflammatory drugs such as Levocetirizine.
If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Take proper course of antibiotics. Get blood tests done if required. Also apply warm compresses neck twice a day . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
