A member asked:
What would cause a hard tender occipital gland? one bigger than the other.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: If this has been present just for a few days, they are likely from an infection (viral or bacterial). If they are not getting smaller after 2 weeks , it is best to ask your doctor to take a look at them to make sure that it is not from something more serious.
