A member asked:
Can touching lymph nodes make them swell ? in neck and how do they look like and feel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Enlarged lymph nodes typically signals some kind of localized infection. In neck it can indicate infection in throat, mouth, sinus or ear. Frequently touching and massaging the lymph nodes can cause some localized irritation. If you have any symptoms other than the lymph nodes, see a Dr in person to get them checked out.
