[adeno- + G. pathos, suffering]Patient discussion about adenopathyQ. my friend ate a bar of chocolate and now her left neck gland is swollen any ideas why? no other symptomsA. it can be an infection -just like brandon said- or although this is rare, it can also be an allergic reaction.
if it is an infection, you can usually find such other infection symptoms like : fever, pain in that swollen area, increased white blood cells (in blood work test), etc.
if it is an allergy, usually it will fade away itself in couple of days, or you can just try to consume anti-allergic drugs, such as : loratadine and maybe combined with dexamethasone.
Good luck, and stay healthy always.. More discussions about adenopathyadenopathy
