Your Body Is Speaking
The lymph nodes in your neck are swollen. Small, bean-shaped structures that normally do their job unnoticed are suddenly making themselves known — tender to the touch, palpable, sometimes painful. Medically, lymph nodes are part of your immune system. They filter what flows through your body, intercept foreign matter, and sound the alarm when something is wrong. When they swell, it means, first of all: your immune system is working at full capacity.
