Treatment of lymphadenopathy is complex and completely depends on the underlying cause, which caused a similar clinical picture. The therapy program is based on detailed diagnosis, as well as previous history.
Treatment of lymphadenopathy with antibiotics
In the case of an inflammatory process caused by infection with bacteria, a course of antibiotic drugs is prescribed. Selection of medications depends on the type of pathogen, which is determined by laboratory tests. Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus erythematosus are treated with agents that inhibit the activity of the pathogen. In the case of HIV infection, therapy is aimed at reducing symptoms.
Often, treatment of lymphadenopathy caused by a benign or malignant neoplasm is performed surgically, after which antibiotics are also prescribed. This reduces the risk of additional infection.
