Yes, if there is infection in the tonsil. Anytime you have infection in your body, your lymph glands become involved by fighting the infection. Lymph glands are all over your body.

If you have a sinus infection or any other type of infection, the lymphs nodes in your neck, groin, arm pit, etc. can be swollen.
