  • Lymph nodes help your body recognize and fight germs, infections and other foreign substances. A swollen gland is an enlargement of one or more lymph nodes. We went to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs and spoke with Dr. Andrew Alexander, asking him to tell us why people get swollen glands?

    These are just things I’ve learned because with I or my son has had them and more:
    Cat Scratch fever is a coinfection of Lyme. The infection is from tick poison (Do NOT think bull’s eye rash!), and can be brought in from a cat or anything else and the cat can get it under their nails.
    Also, if you have breast implants, your body will be fighting off the toxins and you will have enlarged glands everywhere. I had them in my tonsils and everywhere else, but had my tonsils taken out at age 62.
    Also, upper cervical spine disc issues can block the drainage from the brain and the waste from the brain goes down the throat and into the neck lymph nodes. My son has constant eye and sinus problems, a chronic sore throat, and teeth that hurt.
    These toxins from anything can really clog up your lymph nodes. I speak from years of experience. 🙏💕💫

    I have had golf ball size lymph glands in both arm pits for a couple years, finally got an ultra sound and last vist my Dr said we won't talk about that today, she only addressed my routine vist of thyroid medication checkup. I now have more glands swelling, left side of my neck and left side of rib cage. I have changed gp and still no solution, none want to look at it. In my area it's common for Dr to only spend 6-8 minutes with you, no physical exams are done anymore. I was having breathing problems she laughed at and I had to push for asthma test which came back positive and treatment needed. I feel patients are treated poorly in this day. It's all a money racket now. Many people in my area have had similar issues and one died because Dr. Didn't take him serious, dentist sent a bad tooth out for testing because of his concerns came back leukemia and he was dead that week

    Any type of cervical lymphadenopathy or lymph node swelling in the neck is meaningful. It must represent infection of some type in the head and neck. That's typically the cause. More unusual causes can include lymphoma, tuberculosis and cat scratch ( two unusual infections)disease.

She prescribed antibiotic for a week and asked me to see her again if it doesn't go away. I didn't take the antibiotic until 2nd week of May.

      I'm not really sure what helped shrunk my swollen lymph nodes but I tried drinking plenty of water, reduced my workload thus less stress, went back to taking food supplements and got enough sleep. I also found some other videos from patients who had more swollen lymph nodes all throughout their body but turned out fine.
      Googling has caused cancer scare that resulted to too much stress for me. I hope everyone who has this will feel better, not panic, and if you have the chance see a doctor for your peace of mind.

    I tried not to see anything on this. I had my 2nd COVID vaccine on Feb 11,2021 and 3 days later. I had a terrible painful pain on my underarm where I got vaccinated. Waited 2 month and had a sonogram done and I had 3 lymph nodes swollen. They told me I had to go and a follow up 3 months later. I did and 2 of the lymph nodes went away except 1. 3 days later which it was yesterday I had a biopsy. They took 5 pieces to get tested. Now I wait 2 to 3 days for results. This video was helpful and I’m trying not to freak out. Wishing everyone who is going through something like this the best and prayers. ❤️🙏🏼

    I found out I have glandular fever out I have three years ago when I have become very sick with cold, swollen tonsils, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes and so on. After two weeks I was back to normal, let's just say I recovered. Everything with me is fine but my lymph is still swollen till this day on the right side of my throat and the back of my neck right side. It is extremely visible if I bend or raise my neck but I don't get pain. I asked my doctor what should I do but the reply I have gotten was it's less than 1 inch I don't need to do anything and it's fine for me to live with it. Do you guys have any suggestion I fear the worst thinking it can be cancerous or am I just paranoid.

    Hiya, I’m 22, I graduated a year ago right now I just work. i know its unlikely I’m gonna get answers, but I’ve been getting swollen lymph nodes for a while and it always seems to be in the same place under my armpits they come and go in like episodes and as a perosn I’m usually very fatigued and out of breath but when I get them it’s like I get proper sick and the symptoms intensity and I look gross and sweaty. Like I said the come and go in liek few days and it’s always in one or the other armpit it usually changes. My bloods showed a low anemia (so I started taking ironsupplements again) but they also showed abnormal ESR rate. The doctor didn’t really say anything much about it refferences me for chest scan X-ray for my chest pains I was all clear. So does any health care proffesionsal know what underlying condition apart from the scariest and typical answer for google to give me .... can cause this? My chest pains are not as frequent any more however I do get pinching sensation in my underarms all I know is that one or twice atleast everymonth I get ill, feverish without actual fever just that I’m feeling flushed and hot all day, I’m extremely fatigued and then my lymph node in my armpit is flared and I have a painful bump, This has also been confirmed by the doctor the other reason to rule it out is like some feminists cause I don’t shave religiously under the arms. when this happens it stays for few more days then it goes away.... I’m still fatigued but the others go. What the hell is this? 🤣like I said it goes away and it can vary when I first got this it was the worst experince of them all I got really ill and had night sweats .... the most painful one. The second time it didn’t hurt and it didn’t stay that long then the times after that they varied I felt pain and some didn’t last long at all and went after 3 days. It’s also worth mentioning I’m not sexually active.
