Lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system and are located throughout the body, including the neck, armpits, abdomen and groin. There are many causes for swollen lymph nodes. Most commonly, lymph nodes become swollen due to an infection, such as a viral upper respiratory infection like the common cold. Sometimes, lymph node swelling is caused by an underlying condition.
When the lymph nodes first swell, they might be tender and painful, and they may become larger than their normal pea-size. Other signs and symptoms, depending on the cause of the swollen lymph nodes are sore throat, runny nose, fever, and other indications of an upper respiratory infection.ost causes of swollen lymph nodes are benign, though sometimes the swelling of these lymph nodes may suggest cancer in the head and neck area. There are many causes of swollen lymph nodes, sometimes called âswollen glandsâ (lymphadenitis or lymphadenopathy).
