Which doctor treats lymph node swelling?
The treatment of lymph node swelling depends on the underlying cause. Most forms of lymph node swelling can be adequately diagnosed and treated by a general practitioner or internist. For children, the pediatrician is typically the first point of contact. However, if there is a suspicion of a rare malignant disease, further treatment can be carried out by an oncologist or hematologist after an initial diagnostic clarification, or by a gynecologist in the case of breast disease.
