A member asked:
I have had a viral infection for 3-4 days, is it normal for swollen lymph nodes to appear on both sides of the neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymphadenopathy: Yes this is very common. The viral infection is disseminated through your upper respiratory tract and the lymph nodes are enlarged and tender because they are doing what they are supposed to do, fighting inflammation. Hope you are better soon.
