I am posting this message to see if there is a relationship with colds and the swelling of lymphnodes.
I got a pretty nasty cold, snot and all that fun stuff. I noticed that the lymphnode under the left part of my jaw and a lymphone right below the left ear are a bit swollen. Does that have to do with me having a cold. Im sure someone can answer this ?, as i have seen there are some pretty knowledgable people here. thank you.

When we get an infection bacterial or viral, alot of the healing mechanisms are carried out by the lymph nodes. It kind of like our healing highway. Hope you are feeling better.
