A member asked:

Can sinus cause swollen glands under jaw and middle of neck to swell

Specializes in Family Medicine

Yes: Lymph nodes swell in response to infection. In the diagram of the lymph nodes in the neck, you can see that infection anywhere in the head (including sinuses) drains down to the lymph nodes in the neck.
