Swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) refer to the enlargement of lymph glands, usually due to an immune response against infections, inflammation, or malignancy. They commonly appear in the neck, armpits, groin, and jaw region. The most frequent causes include viral infections, bacterial infections, autoimmune disorders, allergies, and cancers like lymphoma or leukemia. The swelling may be tender or painless, soft or hard, and may be accompanied by fever, fatigue, body aches, or weight loss depending on the underlying condition.

Homeopathy treats swollen lymph nodes by stimulating the body’s natural immune response to remove the underlying cause rather than merely reducing the swelling. Medicines are selected based on the totality of symptoms including location of swelling, pain character, sensitivity to touch, type of infection, associated discharge, constitutional traits, and emotional state of the patient. Chronic, recurrent, or unexplained lymph node swelling can be addressed with deep-acting constitutional remedies for long-term cure.

Swollen lymph nodes are a protective immune reaction but persistent, painful, or unexplained swelling must never be ignored.

A detailed case history, lab investigations, and constitutional prescriptions ensure lasting recovery and prevention of recurrence.
