A member asked:

What is causing only one lymph node in my neck to be swollen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bodies defense!: Lymph nodes swell to defend against infections which are usually sore to touch. The mouth drains into the neck and is important in reaching a diagnosis. Go see your dentist ! chuck.
