Why do you have large painless swollen lymph nodes in your neck and a very very itchy scalp if your 14 years old and apparently not fighting off infection?
An itchy scalp and swollen lymph nodes in the neck do not seem to have any correlation between the two. Fever is the #1 sign of infection, and you have to be very concerned if a lymph node is swollen along with fever. However, you can have a sore throat, tooth ache, or abscess in the gum, without fever that will bring on a swollen lymph node in the neck. This is very common, and when the aliment is resolved, the swelling usually goes away. I think it's just coincidental that you have an itchy scalp along with the swelling....
