Lymph nodes swell and unswell a lot more often than we notice. When they are swollen it just means that you are fighting an infection somewhere in your body.
The only person who can diagnose you is a doctor. Make an appointment right away.
Have a nice day!

It doesn't hurt to have the Doctor diagnose what you might have. The sooner you see him or her the better off you might feel. He might tell you something completely different than what you might think you have. Don't self-diagnose yourself all the time. Take it from me. I've done it so many times in my past life time. If you want to go the natural way study about certain herbal cures. Ones that help the immune system. Just a suggestion. Disclaimer: This is not to be taken as an all out cure. Check with your Doctor before taking any herbs or herbal products.

Normally, when you have a cold or some sort of infection in your head or throat (think strep throat or sinus infection) it gives you earaches and swollen lymph nodes. I'd see a doc and get some antibiotics. Happy healing!

maybe mono. Those were my symptoms, plus I felt very weak, had a respiratory infection, and stomach flu.
