Detailed explanation-1: -Your lymph nodes get larger when more blood cells come to fight off an invading infection. They all essentially pile in, causing pressure and swelling. Often, the lymph nodes that swell will be close to the infection’s site.
Detailed explanation-2: -A normal lymph node is small and firm. When lymph nodes become infected, they usually increase in size, become tender, and may be felt in other areas of your body during a physical exam. Infections that spread to lymph nodes are usually caused by bacteria, a virus, or a fungus.
Detailed explanation-3: -This can occur with certain viruses and with bacterial infections. Often, after an infection has passed, a lymph node or group of nodes that reacted to the infection can remain enlarged for months (reactive adenopathy).
Detailed explanation-4: -Strep throat. Measles. Ear infections. Infected (abscessed) tooth. Mononucleosis. Skin or wound infections, such as cellulitis. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-the virus that causes AIDS. 14-Oct-2021
