10 Causes of Swollen Lymph Nodes

Cause #2: Ear Infections
There are three symptoms that have a close association: sore throats, swollen lymph nodes, and ear infections. Ear infections can be the cause of the other two symptoms. If the source of infection is inside your ear and you left it untreated for a while, it will spread to your lymph nodes and make them swell.
The pain in your ears and lymph nodes may radiate and reach your throat and mouth, causing a sore throat. The most common lymph nodes affected by ear infections are those behind the ear and in the neck. They make it hard to move the neck around without feeling pain and dizziness.
