Could an upper respiratory infection or tooth abscess cause lymph node involvement all the way down the left side of the body through to the groin?
Branwen
Yes it could. Lymph nodes are all over the body and are a filtering system. Some people with high Allergies can break out in small bumps (over-worked and clogged lymph node) and often then are taken out. It's always best to get a proper diagnosis from a specialist.

As big as your head! An abscess will fill with pus until the source of the infection is gone or it reaches the outside world (through your skin or gum) and pops like a zit and drains.
