Treatment Options For Lymphangitis

Apply A Hot Compress

Warm compresses can be beneficial in assisting with the treatment of lymphangitis. When patients apply a hot compress to the infections beneath the skin, it helps break up collections of bacteria and pus to allow for better healing. This can also reduce the associated pain and swelling. Placing a damp, warm compress on the swollen lymph nodes can have a similar effect. Additionally, this increases blood circulation to the area, allowing lymph fluids to move more freely, allowing collected fluids and infection to move out of the lymph glands to be removed from the body. Hot compresses can be used in connection with other treatment measures to help patients feel more comfortable while recovering.
