What are some Causes of swollen lymph nodes in dogs?
I just came from the vet scheduled because of my dogs swollen lymph nodes. The vet believes it to be either an infection or lymphoma (cancer). Make an appointment with your vet.

Why would you use doxycycline to treat swollen lymph nodes?
Personally I would not understand why they would use doxy of all things to treat swollen lymph nodes of the neck usually that suggests a viral and is something that has to fight itself out however if there is an infection the best treatment for the lymph nodes is usually a myacin (i.e. Clindomyacin, Erythromyacin, Azithromyacin(Zithromax), or Even if you can tolerate them Ampicillin, Penicillin, Amoxicillin these all are much more effective then doxycycline. Doxycycline is usually used for respiratory infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, and peridontal disease. Hope this answer is helpful

What are they symptoms of a stomach virus My lymph nodes in my throat are swollen and my upper stomach hurts as if I did a million crunches But I did nothing Anyone have any idea what's wrong with me?
If your lymph nodes in your throat are swollen and your upper stomach hurts as if you did a million crunches but you did nothing, these symptoms could point to a condition called Mononucleosis. Mono is caused by a virus and this could be what is wrong with you. However, medical diagnosis is crucial so it is best that you see your doctor as soon as possible.
How do you cure swollen lymph nodes behind ears?
If it is a lymph node that is swollen and painful, you should see a doctor to have it diagnosed and treated. Sometimes the salivary glands can be painful and swollen in front of the ear if the duct that the saliva flows through to your mouth gets blocked. If it is only on one side, came on very suddenly and perhaps while you were eating, that might be the cause of the swelling. If so, sometimes you can wash out the plug by eating something very sour to make lots of saliva flow through the saliva duct, such as sucking on a lemon. If that does not quickly resolve the problem, then definitely seek medical attention, swollen lymph nodes can indicate infection and other disorders that need to be treated without delay.
My teen has had swollen neck lymph nodes for six weeks. What could be the cause?
There are literally several hundred reasons the lymph nodes could be swollen. For real. But six weeks is almost certainly too long a time to go without a professional opinion. Because the causes are so numerous and the problem has persisted for as long as it has, please schedule a consult with a physician. No one who has any knowledge of this issue will disagree. There is no reason to panic, but please make that call. Best of luck sorting this out.
Are enlarged abdominal lymph nodes the cause of abdominal pain?
Enlarged lymph nodes are a symptom of an underlying health problem. Lymph nodes usually only swell when there is extra activity going on with them or they are congested. When lymph nodes swell, they can become tender to the touch but it is unusual that they alone can be the cause of abdominal pain. It seems that there is an underlying problem. When an infection is present, lymph nodes swell due to lymphocytes (white blood cells) rushing into the nodes to help fight the infection. The answer to your question in my opinion would be no. The cause of your abdominal pain may be linked with enlarged abdominal lymph nodes but they are not the cause of problem. There may be an infection present, you may have had a poor diet and created a bacteria filled environment, your body may be fighting a more serious ailment. The best course of action would be to eat a VERY healthy diet, one which promotes good health and cleansing, take a visit to your doctor to check for any underlying health problems (note that swollen lymph nodes are not the problem, they are a symptom) and in general take very good care of your body.
