Treatment for swollen cervical lymph node
Patient: I have cervical lymph node swelling just on the left side, I have begun snoring incredibly loud at night- so loud that I wake myself as well as my spouse, and I have a constant ache in my left upper arm and left shoulder. I went to my PCP today, and she ordered TSH level and a CT of the neck and chest. Anything else I ought to ask my MD to check? I am 40 yrs old with a negative health hx, no tobacco hx, and min. ETOH use. Since my time for taking care of myself is limited due to other commitments, I just want to make sure that I can be as efficient as possible when I do go see my MD. Doctor: Hello, I have studied your case. if your neck lymphnode is enlarged then you should get needle tests. If there is any pus or any cell then it can be checked under microscope.  Most probably it will be infection and you will required Antibiotics. For your snoring you need to see an  ent  specialist. I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
