Early symptoms of lymphadenitis and reviews of fine-needle aspiration biopsy

Lymphadenitis
I heard that the official name for lymphadenitis is lymphadenitis.
For me, the early symptoms of lymphadenitis are exactly the same as a sore throat, so there have been quite a few instances where I missed catching it right away in the beginning. Then, I discovered a lump and was shocked, so I underwent a thorough medical examination.
I thought the muscle pain was really severe, but I assumed it was just because I was tired from work and exercising. However, I was told that this is also an early symptom of lymphadenitis.
 
Early symptoms of lymphadenitis
As the lump started to grow, the initial symptom of lymphadenitis I felt was a headache.
I had headaches much more often than usual, and
Perhaps because my immune system has weakened, I get styes and bruises frequently.

A bulging lump like a jade bead...
The lump did not disappear even after more than a week, so I visited an internal medicine clinic that performs ultrasounds.
The doctor's finding on the ultrasound was lymphadenitis.
The lump is over 1 cm, so it is not small, but the shape is not bad, so the doctor said to take anti-inflammatory medication and monitor it, and I was prescribed a week's supply.
Up until this point, I thought that taking medicine would make all the early symptoms of lymphadenitis disappear.
However, after observing it for almost a month, I discovered that this lump gets harder and bigger when I am tired, don't sleep well, or drink alcohol the day before.
Later on, a new lump formed behind the one that was visible even when I was still, and they merged to get bigger.

It also hurt like a bruise when I pressed the lump.
Since several early symptoms of lymphadenitis overlapped, I started to worry that it might be a thyroid-related disease.
 
Hospital revisit
Eventually, exhausted by headaches, extreme fatigue, and lethargy, I requested an ultrasound CD and a referral from my regular hospital and went to a general hospital.

I told the hospital about the early symptoms of lymphadenitis and underwent an ultrasound and a fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
They do administer anesthesia, but since it's an injection, I was really scared to go; however, it was just a slight sting and uncomfortable, so it was bearable.

I received the results via text message first, and it was confirmed to be lymphadenitis. (Kikuchi disease is a remnant of the Japanese language.)
I was relieved to hear that the test results showed it wasn't a disease.

After taking the medicine, the initial symptoms of lymphadenitis have all cleared up, and the lump has gotten a little smaller, but it is taking a while for it to disappear completely.
There is no major cure for lymphadenitis, so I am taking the prescribed medication and living my life as usual. Instead, I am making sure to take my vitamins regularly and eating plenty of vegetables.
Lymphadenitis tends to recur frequently once you get it, so I have also had it several times.
The early symptoms of lymphadenitis are similar to those of a sore throat, so it's not easy to catch them in the beginning. From now on, if I feel like the early symptoms of lymphadenitis are similar to those of a sore throat, I plan to go to the hospital right away to get checked.

    저도 림프절염 종종 걸렸던 것 같아요. 딱히 병원에 가지는 않았는데 다음부터는 병원에서 약이라도 타다 먹어야겠네요.
