A member asked:

My limp node his inflammation ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I'm sorry to hear: that. But your lymph node swells in response to infection. It's where your immune cells gather and help fight off foreign invaders. Lymphadenitis, however, in response to a skin infection for instance, requires antibiotic treatment.
