So you figure untrained computer nerds can diagnose you?  You've got problems.

If there is swelling too, could be an infected lymph node. You need to see your doctor.

Well, she should know what riskful behaviour she engaged in.  Swollen lymph nodes can be a sign of aids.  But it is also a sign of many other things.  Sore throat and swollen lymph nodes in neck can be due to the mono virus or due to strep throat.  Various viruses can cause some swelling of lymph nodes for a time.  Localized bacterial infection can cause locally swollen lymph nodes for a time.  Cancer can cause locally swollen lymph nodes and Lymphoma causes swollen lymph nodes.  Swollen gums can be caused by poor dental hygiene and bad teeth, also by Scurvy, which is vitamin C deficiency.

It seems as though you have strained your neck muscles as well as subluxating your cervical vertebrae. This will take soe time to heal as s muscle strain involves the tendons. The tendons are avascular meaning without blood vessels.  As such there is no exchange of nutrients and wastes making it take longer to heal. As time passes it should get better and the pain and nausea will pass altogether. I have had this happen to me and my clients before in almost the same way.  Were you undergoing some serious stress during that time that you slept incorrectly?  I ask as it would seem to be the common denominator.  Good luck and don't do anything strenuous that would involve your neck or it will exacerbate the original injury.  Oh, btw, when the swelling completely subsides, may I suggest a series of massages to prevent any future spasms or flare ups?  It helps!

Anytime you are fighting illness, infection or are compromised in any way, your lymph nodes swell. Guess what your tonsils are...You guessed it lymph tissue. If you have frequent strep throat, sore throat or severely enlarged tonsils, you may need them removed. Note this is not an easy surgery and you do need your lymph nodes, but sometimes they've just gotta go. Ask to get referred to an ear nose and throat specialist.

Maybe, your immune system is weak. Immuno suppression may result in recurrent infections. See your doctor for further evaluation.

enlarged lymph nodes in neck are sign of infection. it may be due to medical or dental reasons. if you are feeling dental pain associated with any tooth, it's better to consult a dentist. he will prescribe some antibiotics to clear off infection and treat the underlying cause i.e tooth \nif there is no associated dental problem you can consult a physician who will rule out any orofacial infection.\n\nbut it's better to get it treated soon otherwise the infection may spread to other organs as lymphatic drainage is quite extensive in our body and it tends to supply all over the body so the infection may spread.

I had that problem. I went and got it checked out and found out that their was blood vessels outside of my cervix and sex would break the blood vessels easily.  I just had them dried up in surgery and it went away. Go and have a check up. :)

It is probably a swollen lymph node if it is under the angle of the mandile (corner of the jaw, and in front of the sternoclediomastoid muscle (the one from the bottom of the back of the ear (the mastoid bone) that goes down to the middile of the sternum (breastbone) at the notch. Check to see if when you crane your neck forward the lump is just in front of the muscle that becomes prominent as you push your head forward - if so it increases the likelihood it is a harmless lymph node swelling - not all lymph node enlargements are harmless though (and it will need to be seen by a physician). Harmless causes include reactive lymph node from tonisllitis, viral pharyiogitis, cystic acne chanegs, tooth infections and more.\n\nOther masses in the neck include thyroid masses (cysts and tumors) salivary masses (inferior parotid gland or submandibular gland, epidermal inclusion cysts and more.\n\nI think the biggest reason to see a docotr is to make sure an alien spider did not lay eggs under your skin in that area while you were sleeping last night. (just kidding)\n\nGood luck. Go see the doctor, but don't loose sleep over this - it is probably harmless.

Hi. I am a RN and and many things can contribute to swollen tender breasts...even a chest cold! Most people don't know that. Take a pregnancy test if that is a possibility. If negative then yes probably just hormones. I would lay down and put your hand on that side behind your head and feel your armpit region for swelling also. Sometimes your lymph nodes can get swollen. If they are then go to the doctor. Could be nothing, could be something. Too much caffeine can cause the lymph nodes to swell which in turn causes the breast to hurt. Start at step one and take it from there okay. Good Luck and feel better soon! Tender breasts hurt! Oh, Ibuprofen works great!

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!

This doesnt sound good!!! I'd definately see a doctor, but you do have sebacious (oil) glands that can become blocked & the oil accumulates as pus & looks like a white-head.

It's more than likely an inflamed lymph gland, but it's a good idea to have it check out. Could be a symptom of Mono....

You should see an endocrinologist.  I doubt that it is cancer, but something glandular is going on?  Are the lymph nodes in your armpits swollen also?\n\nAlso, are you male or female?  Can you clench your teeth?\n\nYou should definitely see at doctor soon.  I think you're a bit young for hodgkins or any other lymphoma.  But it could be something serious (but curable).  Plus, hopefully you've had a mumps vaccination.  This is a symptom of mumps but if you were vaccinated when you were a child you will be protected from this.  However, there is an outbreak of mumps recently, so make sure you check whether you have received it or not. \n\nIf your doctor won't see you today or soon, you should probably see another doctor.  Even at 17, you have to take charge of your own health and well-being.

My Dad had this. I think it depends on if other areas/organs are involved & how involved.  I hope the person who you are inquiring about will be okay. Originally that had told my Dad 2-15 years but it depends on many things.  Have you looked into the steroid treatments? You can look up the American Cancer Society online and see if there are any clinical trials of different things in your area.  Good Luck to you and yours.  God Bless.

Unfortunately sounds like your skin has lost its elasticity under your neck. Look at older people in your family... its most likely heredity. I'd recommend if it bothers you that bad there is always the option of liposuction under the neck or even a neck lift. You don't have to be "old" to get these surgeries done I see it all the time on Discovery Medical Channel.
