A member asked:
Billions of lice in head , can cause rubbery hard swollen lymph node on right side of neck for more than one month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Lice is a parasite infection. As such, lymph node swelling is expected, especially with such a large infestation. Get the lice treated and if the glands don't go down in 2 weeks, then see your internist.
