Lymph glands: We have localized strainers in our system called lymph glands.They sift through the body fluid that may contain debris or germs from such sores to remove them before returning the fluid to our circulation.These are usually pea sized at rest, swell to lima bean or bigger when working and shrink back down over a few weeks.Pain,redness or failure to resolve over a few wks deserves a visit.
