A member asked:
Is there lymph nodes in your trachea? can they swell and cause problems swallowing and eating solid food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no.: There are lymph nodes around your trachea. However, your trachea has to do with breathing not swallowing. If you're having trouble swallowing I would see your PCP for an evaluation as there are many causes.
