Can Bacterial Vaginosis Cause Sore Throat Plus A Feeling Of Swollen Lymph Nodes?
It seems as though my lymph node on the left side of my neck is swollen. This becomes worse as I sleep at night and it is very painful to swallow. My throat is not sore as in a cold with a sore throat just painful where it feels like it may be a swollen lymph node. I was just diagosed with bacterial vaginosis could this be the cause?

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
Chances of getting sore throat with swollen lymph node with vaginosis is less because infection through vagina to throat could spread by two way only- one through blood and second through ur hand. If u have touch anything after touching ur vagina, this could be the reason, other wise through blood it would spread to whole body rather than throat only.
