Hi Monica,

I have had swollen lymph nodes for a couple of weeks now.

Apparently I have a varicella zoster outbreak (a type of shingles). The virus appeared in my left ear and nose and I have had tons of neuropathy from it as well as swollen lymph nodes especially in the neck from teh virus and the inflamed nerves throughout that region.

But never hesitate to get something checked out if you are worried.
