Specializes in Pediatrics

Gland - lymph node: Lymph nodes enlarge during infection, part of your body's host defense against infection. If you don't have a fever, it is likely just doing its job, ma'am. If you have fever, redness, or difficulty moving your arm around, see your doctor. The lymph node may need a little help.
