Treatment Options For Lymphangitis

Take Pain Medication As Directed

The pain associated with the inflammation of the lymph nodes can make it difficult to want to move around much, but movement is important to keep lymph fluid flowing to remove waste from the body. To keep your pain at bay, your physician may recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers to reduce pain and inflammation, or even acetaminophen for pain and fever. If pain is very severe, prescription medications may be recommended. There is a potential for side effects with many of the available pain relievers, so it is important to always take pain medication as directed to reduce the risk of complications.
