Body is revolting against me!

So I now have a swollen lymph node that is super painful. Pretty sure it’s from all the toxins being cleaned out of my body along with possibly allergies. Really want to cut thing out of my neck right now!

What toxins?

Did you or do you have a cold?

You should probably go see your doctor.

Swollen lymph nodes are usually a sign that your body is fighting an infection of some sort. My guess is that you are sick or coming down with something. As far as toxins go, you have a liver and kidneys. They do a fantastic job of releasing toxins from your body without any outside help. Allergies have many symptoms but swollen glands are not normally among them.

You only have toxins in your body if your excretory system isn’t working properly. If this were the case, you’d be very ill.

Your swollen lymph node is likely caused by an infection, like a cold or perhaps a sore near the lymph node. If it doesn’t go away soon, see a doctor.

I get swollen lymph nodes all the time, sometimes when my body is fighting the virus that causes my cold sores. (I and every one of my siblings got them from our mom. Thanks, Mom!) Your body is likely ramping up its production of white blood cells to fight something off. Probably a cold or a sinus or ear infection. Take a Tylenol or an aspirin, apply a warm compress to the lymph node, and get some rest. It'll probably go down within the next week or two.

I’m pretty sure this is called being sick....
