What Is The Cause For Swollen Glands In Suboccipetal Region While Having Sinus Cold And Tiredness?
I have been feeling very tired lately.... due to a sinus cold.... it wasn't too awful bad but made me feel tired. Now I noticed a couple of swollen glands at the base of my skull. Small. Was wondering if this is something I should be concerned about?

Hi the swelling in the suboccipteal area during cold can be just swollen lymph nodes due to sinusitis or tonsillites.it can be cured by broad spectrum antibiotic twice daily and anti inflammatory agent twice daily.it will subside by 5-7 days.nothing to worry it is common problem
