Question 1

could having eaten mouldy bread cause a swollen lymph node in the neck?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: A swollen lymph gland in the neck would not be related to ingested food, but would be secondarily caused by infection/inflammation somewhere in that region as a rule. If that swollen node doesn't recede after a couple of weeks,if it enlarges or if other new nodes appear, consult your physician for evaluation.

Question 2

i have recurring  prostatitis can it cause swollen lymph node in neck?

Accepted Answer

NO not at all: Swollen nodes in neck would have no connection with your prostatitisd. That is not possible as there is no connection between the prostate gland and the lymph nodes in the neck. Go get a doctor to check your neck and seek his/her advice.

Question 3

i think i have enlarged turbinates. can this cause a swollen lymph node on neck if on same side? i'm concerned.

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: Tammy, every young adult has a couple of palpable lymph nodes. Some folks have a big one here, another there, another somewhere else. The rare malignancy (at your age, Hodgkin's) is obviously abnormal. If your nose is troubling you, your physician can examine you -- again, deviated septum or sinus blockage is much more likely to be the problem. Best wishes.

Question 4

can tonsil stones cause a swollen lymph node? i have a swollen node in my neck on the side that has tonsil stones. it stays full of stones!

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is possible. You are also at slightly higher risk for strep, so if you develop a fever and sore throat with the lymph node enlargement, make sure to see your doc.

Question 5

can impacted wisdom teeth cause swollen lymph node in neck? i noticed it and i don't know why it's there and i'm worried. going to the dr later this month?

Accepted Answer

: An impacted wisdom tooth without infection should not cause a reactive lymph node. However, reactive lymph node is common so there is nothing to concern in the mean time, please patiently wait for your appointment. Take care and good luck!

Question 6

swollen lymph node on neck right side n pain as well i had computer tomograph on neck everything is normal, i have jaw pain problem could it be from jaw which cause swollen lymph node i have for 3 year?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, the majority of isolated enlarged lymph nodes are reactive to inflammation taking place in the vicinity. Your work up should include a focused dental assessment and an ENT exam with imaging as decided based on exam.

Question 7

what could cause a painful, swollen lymph node in neck?

Accepted Answer

Usually inflammation: Swollen lymph nodes in the neck are the sign of some form of pathology.  Nodes don't enlarge spontaneously.  When there is a malignancy of the oral cavity that spreads to lymph nodes they enlarge, become matted, and for the most part fix to jugular vein. 
Painful nodes are the sign of inflammation such as oral cavity or pharynx unassociated with  tumor. Antibiotics may be necessary for control.

Question 8

what causes a swollen lymph node in neck and acne on the shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing: Acne confined to a shoulder may be from rubbing; we see this in men who bench-press large amounts of weight. Most adults have one or more palpable lymph nodes in the neck, and if they are not rock-hard, fixed to other structures, or growing rapidly, they're best ignored. Glad you're a good observer of the body. Good luck.

Question 9

could a swollen lymph node in my neck be caused from a pimple a few inches above it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Swollen lymph nodes can occur in areas where there is skin inflammation. If the pimple you are referring to is somewhat large or inflamed, it could cause local lymph node swelling. If this is the case, once the pimple subsides, the lymph node will also. This can sometimes take 4-6 weeks.

Question 10

Yes: Any injury in that region can cause enlarged ln.
