What Causes Swollen And Painful Gland In Neck And Throat?

The left side of my neck/throat hurt when I look up. Inoticed it when reaching for something high that caused me to look up. It feels kind of like a dull swollen gland without a sore throat sympton. I am a 54 year old female in good health. What might this be?

hello

most common cause for glandular enlargement in the neck is due to an infection of the teeth , that is dental caries and i would like you to meet your dentist for a proper examination and further treatment.

Take care!
