Lymphadenopathy: There is a host of reasons for lymph nodes to enlarge. If you have widespread noticeable enlarged nodes it is important that you be evaluated. There are benign causes,but there are also serious causes that warrant early evaluation and treatment. Good luck.

I have had a cold that has gotten better over the last 7-10 days. I do sinus rinses to help get the green/yellow stuff out. I am noticing that my lymph nodes in my neck are a little sore. Is that normal after a cold? I don't remember ever having it?
