Lymph glands can rupture if they swell enough \nthey dont really tear as they are elastic \n\nthe symptoms do sound like a blocked gland however \ni would go to the doctro sooner rather than later - the sooner it is drained the better

You NEED to see a doctor.  to be honest, a few years back I was diagnosed with cancer.  I had Hodgkins disease (lymphoma) and that was a one of the symptoms I had.  Not to alarm you, just providing info.  You may just be having night sweats

HI. IT COULD JUST BE A IRRITATED GLAND OR LYMPHNOID ( WE HAVE TONS OF THEM IN OUR NECKS). I WOULD WAITE A FEW DAYS AND IF IT IS NOT GONE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. GOOD LUCK.

Could it be enlarged Lymph nodes or an Cysts?

It is likely a swollen lymph node and not a big deal.  However, I just got finished being treated for Hodgkin's Disease (Lymphoma, cancer in the lymph nodes and lymphphatic system)\n\nI had nodes in my neck and arm pit swell and the ones under my arm were tender even though it was cancer (often if they're tender it's just a benign cyst and nothing to worry about)\n\nYou should never feel stupid when it comes to ensuring your own health!  I just turned 25.  A lot of people didn't believe I had anything serious either, even my doctors at first, and I had cancer!  So it's best to just get to the doctor and get it dealt with early.  Luckly we caught mine in stage two and now I'm in full remission.

I think its Bullshit as muscle swell due to a Virus.But you should ask a Doctor.

More then likely it is a lymph node.  I have them too and my doctor said it isn't a big deal.  It may swell or become painful if you have a cold or some kind of bacterial or viral illness.  Don't worry,  you'll live!

Lymph nodes are like quarantine areas: they take nasties and deal with them in that area, (and let them swell) and try to let it not affect other body parts.\n\nIt basically means that you're dealing with alot of toxins, allergens, and potential infections.  \nTry super cleaning your house (wash everything you can wash -- using All Free Clear, as it's dermatologist reccomended for getting out allergy causing dust mites and pet dander, as well as fragrances).\nVaccuum the couches, floors, carpets.\nLet everything air out as much as possible.\n\nAlot of the things that make us sick come from the indoors.  Hopefully once you do a really thorough clean, you'll start feeling better.\nTry taking over-the-counter Claritin, or it's generic Loratadine.\n\nIf after you've cleaned everything you're still having problems, try going to your doctor and asking about an allergy test.  With an allergy test they'll be able to figure out what's bothering you.\nThen your doctor can prescribe or suggest certain allergy medicines, or even get you an allergy shot (say if you're allergic to your pet).

A new blood clot could maybe be there, perhaps there is enough lateral flow to keep the swelling subsided.  But I'm thinking more likely it could be a lymphatic problem and fluid is accumulating lymphatically.  Definitely keep on top of this with your doctor!  Get well!

**Follow up: the lymphatic vessels of the testes terminate in the lateral and preaortic sets of lumbar nodes. Source: Gray's Anatomy.\n\nThe lymph nodes in the groin or inguinal region drain the penis and testicles.\n\nIf you have swelling in any area that you suspect is a lymph node, you should have a physician check it immediately. There are a variety of infections that can cause a lymph node to swell, but this could also be a symptom of lymphoma - cancer of the lymph nodes. \n\nGood luck - it isn't fun to have a lump near the "boys".

It may just be swelled up,takes a little while for swelling to go down.Are you taking oral anti-biotics(ampicillan,amoxicallin......etc....)??

The most common reason for swollen lymph glands is infection.  But they can also be caused by Immune or auto-immune disorders, and cancer such as Hodgkins disease or non-Hodgkins lymphoma.\nYou didn't say where you felt your swollen lymph node, and that could make a difference.\nIf you continue to be concerned ask your physician about these possible tests:  Liver function tests, kindey function tests, cbc with differential, lymph-node biopsy, chest x-ray, and liver-spleen scan.\nIf your physician isn't answering your questions or you have doubts about your health care.  I would possibly get a second opinion on the matter.

First of all dont panic.....there cud b nothing wrong...first of all check with ur local physician whether u caught any common cold or throat infection ....that cud be the culprit....which causes the lymph nodes to swell..and tender too...and how long u hav been having this...nothing to worry....stay cool....

Sounds like an allergic reaction.  Do you get itchy too?  Around the throat area?  If so, be very careful.  You could be getting hives and the swelling is dangerous!  I'd call a doctor and tell him/her your symptoms.

don't worry about it.  like your family has said it's just a swollen gland.  \n\nwhen you get sick, the bacteria or viruses that are making you sick travel through your lymph system and get stuck in the nodes.  your cells of your immune system travel there to fight the infection.  but they don't leave after, they just slowly die off.  so that's what's going on here.\n\nif you're really worried, you can just have it checked the next time you see your doctor and they'll tell you pretty much the same thing.  \n\nhowever, if it ever hurts when you push on it (which you say it doesn't right now) then you should think about seeing a doctor for it. \n\nfor now, rest easy, you've got nothing to worry about.
