A member asked:

Can stress induced clenching of the teeth and strained jaw muscles cause swollen neck glands?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stress and health: It depends. Stress can greatly affect all parts of your body. Have you had any other symptoms like fever or sinus/allergy problems that could also describe your swollen glands.
