Lymphadenopathy: Enlargement of the lymph nodes is recognized as a common sign of infectious, autoimmune, or malignant disease.

Question 9

can you get swollen glands or lymph nodes if you were choked or somebody was squeezing hard on your neck?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It could irritate the lymph nodes in your neck causing swelling.  more concerning is why was someone choking you?  This should be reported as an assault.  Please do not let someone get away with hurting you.  No one has the right to do that EVER.  Please be sure you are safe.  Avoid contact with anyone who would do that to you.  If you are/feel unsafe call for help, contact local police.

Question 10

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
