What Causes Skin Break Out, Pimples, Throat Swelling When Having Lymph Node Infection?
Dear Dr Prasad.
I had frequent break outs on my skin. A lot of pimples suddenly.
As an aside, I also had severe throat swelling and ear pain, unlike the symptoms of tonsilitis.
My GP told me it was because of a lymph node infection.
Can pimples break out because of this? And what is the treatment?

ALWAYS MENTION YOUR AGE & GENDER. LYMPH NODES OCCURS DUE TO INFECTION. NOT DUE TO PIMPLES. FOR PIMPLES . KEEP THE FACE CLEAN WITH FACE WASH TWICE A DAY. AVOID OIL FOR HAIR & FACE. USE OIL FREE MOISTURIZERS . WASH YOUR HAIR. WITH SHAMPOO TWICE A WEEK. AVOID HOT & HUMID. FOR THROAT SWELLING USE HOT SALINE GARGLES TWICE A DAY. YOU CAN TAKE PARACETAMOL/IBUPROFEN FOR PAIN. USE BEZYLE BENZOATE CREAM FOR PIMPLES. DO NOT PINCH OR SQEEZE PIMPLES ,IT LEAVES SCAR.
