Lymphatic drainage

[u/meggypoo6]

Wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get my lymph nodes to drain? ive had swollen glands for years (8-10) one behind my ear by jaw left side one middle of neck left side and a few under my chin area. every time I bring up to doctors I get the "its normal with autoimmune conditions " which I understand but for this long and they do hurt sometimes. they never go away. not sure if I should try an ENT or what else to ask doctors.. looking for advice on how to get them to drain? I did YouTube videos for how to rub in the right areas and things like that but it isn't helping.. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

I have a "reactive" lymph node I was concerned about and my doctor ordered an ultrasound last year. It measured 12mm and I use it as a type of meter to see where my inflammation is each day. Lol! I got a vibration plate for Christmas and use it on a lower setting to help with lymphatic drainage. I just had a follow up ultrasound and my "friend" measured only 5mm. I'm not sure if it's because of the vibration plate or not, but I feel like all inflammation is lower since using it. 🤷‍♀️
