Swollen Lymph Nodes
Swollen lymph nodes may be a symptom of a bacterial infection. The lymph nodes, located throughout the body, contain white blood cells that help the body fight infection. When an infection develops, the lymph nodes closest to the infection may become enlarged and painful.
If the infection spreads, other lymph nodes may become swollen, possibly indicating an infection is spreading. Bacterial infections that spread to the lymph nodes may quickly affect other parts of the body, making prompt treatment critical.6‘Lymphadenitis.’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/lymphadenitis
