Swollen Lymph Node

Smaerd · 07-04-2008, 12:49 AM

I haven't seen a doctor for a couple years. But this seems to be a reoccuring thing for me. Only my right one seems to flair up a lot. I think I have an ear infection. I am going through alot of physical and mental stress lack of sleep lack of food etc...drug withdrawals...

I've had a post about this before, but i am kind of freaked out. Anyone know anything I can do to at least reduce the swelling. PS I am broke and have no ID to see a doc or anything unless it is an absolute emergency. Then I'm going into the ER and I don't think it's serious. But my anxieties worsen as the night gets later.

Any idea on how to reduce the swelling aside from ice? I can't sleep either even though it is 5:00am. blahh.

Google results that I found useful for home remedies for swollen lymph nodes:

Cure Swollen Lymph Nodes with remedies from the Earth Clinic Community.

Natural cures for Swollen Lymph Nodes | Home Remedies for Swollen Lymph Nodes

Swollen lymph nodes: Lifestyle and home remedies - MayoClinic.com

Sounds like you need to do a body cleanse, plenty of water at the least.

Best of luck, and keep us updated!

I think it's this weird thing I have under the right side of my toungue it feels kind of solid. like a pimple in my mouth but under my tongue. and one time it popped and squirted like salty juice in my mouth. Then it went away for a while and now it is back here and there in fluctuation.

it isn't really swollen it just gets big under my chin line on my right side of my face. I will try to like cleanse my blood/body or whatever but I am still going to smoke cigarettes. Thanks for the advice.

That's a sure sign of Vitamin C deficiency.

Could it be because I ate an apple not too long ago, which my body isn't used too(or an fruit really)? Yeah I don't eat much I can't afford good food really. I will take these all into consideration. Thank you everyone. I will have to try and striaghten these things up I have some apple vinegar stuff at my friends house, am I really supposed to drink that though? vinegar? I have faith in anything to make me healthier.

Shit it might also be how I can't afford to get my wisdom teeth out(cuz the site you sent PG) or have a form of identification yet. and they have already popped through my gums and give me frequent headaches, though my physical pangs are hard to distinguish from each other...

**Pharm Girl** · 07-04-2008, 07:37 PM

the wisdom teeth have a tendency to come out a bit and then they sometimes go back in.........so long as there is room for them to grow, you won't need an extraction.
are there any free clinics in your area............??

I'm sure, I just need to get off my ass and get healthy and get an ID again. I guess when I go to live with my parents(in a week or so) i'll be taken care of. thanks everyone now I'm not as stressed.
