Rassaun has had a fever and some swelling lately. He is also very tired and itchy. After some tests, Rassaun was diagnosed to have a disease associated with the lymphatic system. What treatment would the doctor most likely recommend?

Answer
A
exercising
B
gargling with salt water
C
undergoing chemotherapy
D
take over-the-counter painkillers

Explanation

A disease associated with the lymphatic system that can cause swelling, fever, fatigue, and itching may be lymphoma. Chemotherapy is a common treatment for lymphoma because it uses medicines to destroy cancer cells. Exercise, salt-water gargles, and over-the-counter painkillers would not treat the underlying disease.
