I have been battling a bad sinus cold for a few days now and yesterday I noticed a grape size knot on the right side of my neck sorta under my jaw area. Does sinus trouble cause your lymphnodes to swell? We don't have any health insurance and I don't wanna run to the doctor if I am panicing over nothing.
PLEASE HELP!

Yes. Sinus infections will cause havoc with your lymph nodes... especially if the migrate into ear infections. Try fighting the Sinus trouble/infection with regular doses of decongestants and saline sinus irrigations. If you have allergies.. use an anti-histamine/decongestant OTC combo such as Claritin-D. Best of luck getting rid of this.. If you can not get rid of your sypmtoms in 7 days, you probably need anti-biotics.
