Just found today that herniated disc can cause swollen glands in your neck due to swelling.It can also cause high fevers,dissyness,verdigo,natiousness,can also cause a dip in the amune system.It does help and am glad there is something online for people to find answers.I appreciate the time you Drs. spend answering concerned people.

Hi,
Swollen lymph nodes in the neck are caused by viral or bacterial infections, inflammation or malignancy. Herniated disc doesn’t cause swollen glands in the neck. Please consult a neurologist for the treatment of the herniated disc and examination of the swollen glands in the neck to find out the cause of swelling. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
