Case Studies
Treatment
- There is no treatment for lymphadenopathy; the mainstay of therapy is treating the underlying condition.[1]
- Infectious lymphadenopathy responds well to prompt treatment with antibiotics, and usually leads to a complete recovery. However, it may take months, for swelling to disappear. The amount of time to recovery depends on the cause.
- Neoplastic (malignant) lymphadenopathy usually responds well to systemic chemotherapy.
