What Causes Swollen Lymph Node On The Neck?
Brief Answer:
Cold is most probable reason of it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thank you for the query.
Yes, throat infection is the most common and most probable reason of it. Single lymph node on the neck is not something you should be worried about.
Please just have an eye on it. If it will get larger than you should have it checked. Ultrasound is a good way to do that.
But for now, no need to do anything with it.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards
