Hello,

Swollen lymph nodes in neck can be due to various reason. Most common of these are infections. Other reasons include medications, malignancy and auto immune diseases.

If there is no pain or redness in there draining area then it can be due to common dandruff or allergies or due to viral infections. If they continue to persists then you should consult to your doctor.

He may prescribe some tests like CBC,ESR,CRP,HIV,HBSAG or allergy tests. Till then please keep a watch on it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
