What Causes Swelling Of Lymph Nodes?
Hi,I ve had an ultra sound on the lymph nodes in my neck. Going for a biopsy later (apparently due to the location of these nodes) but anxious about what it could be. I think they are the cervical lymph nodes. One is on the right side of my neck below my ear and the other is on the left side under my jaw and towards the centre, near my adams apple. Can you give me some ideas on what could cause these nodes to swell.
