Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes

I had pain from my shoulder to my chin starting on Aug 22, 2014.Two days later, I had a swollen lymph node on that side of my neck and my shoulder was stiff and swollen. A few days later, another lymph node swelled up as well. It s been about 3 weeks, and I now have 6 swollen lymph nodes. My shoulder still hurts but is not as stiff. What could be the reason why more lymph nodes keep appearing?

Hello

There can be many infections which can cause lymph node swelling , and for this you will need a couple of blood tests. Please meet your doctor , he will examine you and look for the focus of infection, and once that is treated , the swellings will disappear.Please dont worry , you will be fine.

Thanks
