I have a swollen lymph node in my neck/throat. I have a runny nose especially at night nothing else Please note that my covid test is negative my only symptoms are a slightly runny nose and this ganglion that appears on and off

Is it normal for my throat nodes to swell when I eat and then disappear?

Hello, thank you for your question!

If you have a cold, it is normal for the nodes to be a little swollen. For now, just monitor the situation. If it persists for more than a week or gets worse, you will have to see a doctor, just to be on the safe side.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
