Symptom #8: Swollen Lymph Nodes
The function of your lymph system is to remove toxins and waste material from your body. When there is an infection in the body such as bronchitis, the lymph system kicks in to get rid of the viruses and bacteria. You can look at the lymph system as a battle ground between the body’s defense forces and the intruding enemy. The ensuing battle leads to inflammation of the lymph system, and especially the lymph nodes.
Depending on the severity of the infection, the lymph nodes may end up swelling. In the case of bronchitis, the swelling occurs in the lymph nodes on the sides of the neck. The swelling will normally subside with the bronchitis.
