A member asked:

Is it possible to have swollen lymph nodes without any cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There are always reasons for swollen lymph nodes. Some reasons are known, and others are not. Just because we don't yet know the reason, it does not mean the swollen lymph node occurred without any cause. Some of the causes are injury, injection, inflammation, autoimmune disease, cancer...
