When to Worry About Swollen Lymph Nodes

A swollen lymph node can be a bit like your body’s version of a red flag: When one of these bean-shaped clusters of immune cells in your neck, armpit, or groin puffs up, it’s typically an indication that something out of the ordinary is floating around in your system.
