What Causes A Swollen Lymph Node In The Neck?
I noticed a swollen lymph node in my neck yesterday. I am thinking that it may be caused by a tick bite about 3.5 to 4 inches away from the lymph node. Is that possible? And if so, is it something to be concerned about? I have no colds, illnesses, infections, etc.

Tick bite can lead to fever and lymph node enlargement.
Just observe if you get any fever in next 1/2 days.
If it's due to Tick bite, it should subside in next couple of days.
If you don't get fever and still have lymph node more than next 3/4 days than you need to consult family doctor to find other causes of lymph node.
