What Does A Sore Gland In Neck Indicate?

I have a sore gland in my neck. it hurts to touch and when I tilt my head to look either side. I have no other symptons, fever etc. i can pinpoint the gland with my finger. It flaresup every 2-3 weeks and has been for the last 4 months. I had a csection 4 months ago but other than that I am in good health

Hi,
Having painful enlarged lymph nodes indicates that you might be having some infection in nearby areas like scalp, ear, throat etc.
Consult your doctor and get examined for having this type of infection and go for the treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
