Lymph Nodes.

I recently just felt my lymph nodes in my neck swell up. It doesnt hurt much but I can feel them and its quite annyoying. My vision just went really blurry and eyes are red. What could this be from?

Hello,
Lymph nodes can be enlarged in any infection or inflammation. It is our body’s immune response to any infection in the neck, head or mouth, including strep throat and cold. In conditions like toxoplasmosis, cat-scratch fever and tuberculosis also there will be enlarged neck lymph nodes. Refractive eye conditions, dry eyes, migraines all can lead to blurring and redness. A complete clinical check up will be helpful. You may need tests like FNAC of the lymph nodes, complete blood counts, ESR etc. An ophthalmological evaluation is also important. Keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
