Question 1

what feels like swollen glands (?) in neck and by collarbone, also have been having trouble swallowing. doc said allergies & acid reflux but idk?

Accepted Answer

Need a second opinio: If you have swollen lymph nodes and difficulty swallowing i think it would warrant a second opinion. Please seek out an internist. A second opinion in your case seems warranted.

Question 2

what causes swollen glands in neck and throat?

Accepted Answer

Infection: As a tooth, or oral infection of the lower teeth.

Question 3

cause of a swollen face near the lips and swollen glands in neck?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction.: I am concerned that you may be experiencing a hypersensitivity reaction to something, or at the very least, you are having some type of infection. Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) in the short term, but see your physician for an exam and possible labwork in the next day or 2.

Question 4

can swollen glands in neck n under jaw cause bell's palsy ?

Accepted Answer

Not per se: It is not the swollen glands that cause Bells palsy but the infection that may be causing enlarged glands.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 5

it hurts to swallow, have cold sores in mouth, swollen glands in neck, and somewhat achy all over; what would cause all these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Viral illness.: Most cold sores are caused by the Herpes simplex virus.  Especially the first time you get the infection there will be other symptoms besides the sores like aching, sometimes headache or fever and or swollen glands.

Question 6

i had surgery 10 days ago. i had skin graft from hip and it was placed on foot. its a large section of heel. could this cause swollen glands in neck?

Accepted Answer

Swollen neck glands: The lymphatic system drains fluid outside our vascular system to the lymph nodes.  It would be unlikely that a problem at the hip or foot would cause neck lymph nodes to become inflamed but this should be evaluated by both your surgeon and your PCP.

Question 7

the area behind "swollen glands" in neck/throat feel tight. i have acid reflux & hiatal hernia on meds but this feeling persists. what's a cause?

Accepted Answer

Check for sinusitis: Swollen glands in the neck are generally the result of chronic sinus drainage or other head and neck inflamation especially in young otherwise healthy individuals.  You should seek the attention of a medical doctor to better assess the situation or an ENT doctor.

Question 8

what would cause one of my neck vein/arteries to always stick out of the skin? male 20 yrs old sore throat/ mucus lately with swollen glands in neck.

Accepted Answer

Neck Veins: If the vein sticking out is long term, that's your normal
Occ neck veins get inflamed due to head and neck infections, but you would then be very sick

Question 9

how long does it take for swollen glands in neck to go down after having a cold? what is considered normal?

Accepted Answer

Depends..: Many infections can linger even after sore throat has resolved. In general most reactive lymph nodes diminish in size after a couple weeks once the agent is gone. Mono, for example can take months....also sometimes lymph nodes get larger but dont go back to the original size. I suggest you see someone if it hasnt gone down 2-3 weeks after improvement in case you need to be examined or tested

Question 10

what to do for swollen glands in neck under jaw?

Accepted Answer

Lymphadenopathy: Those are jugulodigastric nodes.  They can be swollen for several reasons including pharyngitis or sinusitis.  Aggressive oral cleaning or scaling can cause this as well.
