A member asked:
I have a headache, congested, and cough and my lymph nodes hurt when i touch them but they are not swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reactive nodes: With a respiratory infection, usually viral, the lymph nodes will become reactive to produce the blood cells needed to fight the infection. It means your body's defenses are acting properly. This can be tender nodes, swollen nodes or both.
