Hello! Since few days ago I have got swollen lymph nodes on both sides on my neck, under ears. The day I have noticed these swollen lymph nodes, started my problems with swallowing and breathing. So, now I want to know could difficulty swallowing and breathing be caused by swollen lymph nodes. Thank you!

Hello! Generally speaking, you got swollen lymph nodes because of infection. I assume that you have infection of respiratory tract. Swollen lymph nodes are sign that body is fighting against infection. So, you will need to visit your doctor. I am sure that he/she will prescribe you antibiotics. That will help you.
