What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck While Having Cold?
Hi there, I recently got a cold starting with a sore throat, and cough, nose ran for days, causing an infection on my upper lip, woke up swollen and glands are swollen on both sides as well as sore left cheek? what can I do? or do I need to see doctor? I don t think its mumps?

Hi,
The swelling involving lymph nodes is secondary to drainage area involvement to clear the infection of upper respiratory tract. Though it does not sound like a mumps, but a doc consultation with prescription of needed antibiotics and anti inflammatory medications is a must demand of time to prevent further complications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
