When to Worry About Neck Lumps and What to Do About Them

Lymph nodes play a vital role in our immune system by combating germs and illnesses. There may be times when you notice them swelling or feeling tender in your neck.

This change usually signals that your body is responding to an infection. However, there are moments when a neck lump might warrant closer attention as it could be a sign of something more serious.

Understanding neck lumps begins with knowing the function of lymph nodes. These small, bean-shaped structures act like filters for lymphatic fluid, trapping germs, waste, and cancerous cells.
