swollen lymph nodes In my neck Posted: 12-09-07 12:55pm
feel swollen and uncomfortable. They don't
hurt at all and i cant feel it outside of
my neck. Should I be worried about this? I
don't know if this has anything to do with
it, but i went to the doctor just a few
days ago because i was feeling bad, sore
throat, runny nose etc. He said I had a
viral infection.
Now all my symptoms have gone but the
inside of my neck feels swollen.
Can anybody help me with this problem?

The lymph nodes swell during infection but
swelling can also be caused by
inflammatory conditions, an abscess, or
cancer. Typically, the lymph nodes swell
rapidly in the early stages of fighting an
infection. Lymph, which travels throughout
your body in the lymph system, and filters
impurities from the body.
