A member asked:
Can you inflame a slightly palpable neck lymph node by touching it often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lymph node: .. palpation could affect the flow of lymph through the node, which could speed up an inflammatory process that is ongoing. This is a bit of a creative stretch and thus, I would not suspect palpation when considering causes of an inflamed node
