Question
I was not feeling very well. When the doctor examined me, he said that I had a swollen lymph node in the neck. What does a swollen lymph node indicate ?
Options:
A .  There is an infection in my body
B .  I am having too much spicy food
C .  There is water retention in the lymph node
D .  There is a blood clot in the node
Answer: Option A
:
A
Lymph carries debris and pathogens as it reaches the lymph node. Lymph flows very slowly through the lymph nodes and that gives enough time for the immune cells to identify the pathogens and clear them. The swollen lymph nodes under armpits or neck are an indication of some infection and that the immune cells are actively working to get rid of the pathogens.
