It sounds like it is the lymph nodes in your neck that may be enlarged. These fight off infections. You may be fighting off a cold or something. Your saliva glands sometimes get cysts in their ducts that block saliva drainage. This can be very painful. The smell of food or even brushing your teeth can bring on salivation and swelling of the gland. If you have pain and/or notice swelling see a doctor. He may be able to manupulate and express the cyst. It not, surgery may be indicated to remove the cyst and/or gland.
Lymph nodes swell as a normal immune response to infection or inflammation. This swelling occurs as the lymph nodes work to filter and trap viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens. The increased activity of immune cells in the lymph nodes causes them to enlarge.
No, not directly anyway. The connection is given a long period of time, tobacco use causes cancer, which in turn makes lymph nodes swell. Swollen lymph nodes are most commonly a sign of infection. See a doctor for a check-up if you notice any swollen lymph nodes.

Anemia does not normally cause swollen lymph nodes. lymph nodes are most commonly the sign of bacterial/viral infections. These lymph nodes are usually soft, mobile, tender and swell to a large size over a short period of time. other causes of swollen lymph nodes incluse benign growths and malignancies. When watching out for malignancies, lymph nodes should be checked if they are hard, non-mobile, cause no pain and swell largely over a longer period of time (weeks-months)
Yes, a yeast infection can cause your lymph nodes to swell.
Swollen lymph nodes are often caused by an infection, such as a cold or a sore throat. They can also swell due to autoimmune disorders, certain medications, or cancer. If you have persistent or unusually large swollen lymph nodes, it's important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.
the axillary area smells after the lymph nodes have been removed due to presence of sweat glands.
Infection
The "knots" in your armpits are swollen lymph nodes and your throat may have swollen glands as well as swollen lymph nodes. This is very concerning since the lymph nodes swell indicating infection or major illness. Lymph nodes carry lymph fluid and white blood cells throughout our bodies. Certain infections, and certain cancers travel swiftly through the lymph system, thereby causing them to swell.
no not from what I've ever heard sorry
Yes. Trust me I am going through it right now.
