I had to sleep on the hard for twice in the past week and last night while watching a movie my neck was in a awkward position. So I was wonder Can Sleeping/laying wrong cause swollen lymph nodes?

Hi Danny,
If you were in bad position when you were sleeping it might be possible that you made your lymph nodes very sore. This might be the reason of swollen lymph nodes in the first place. However lymph nodes usually tend to swell if there is some infection in the body. Have you noticed any problems with your sinuses of maybe in your throat? Maybe you had a mild cold and the lymph nodes reacted immediately.
However, there is a possibility that lymph nodes get swollen from trauma and not just an infection. If this is the case then you should be back to normal in few days and there is no reason for you to worry.
Good luck,
Marco

I have had it were every once and a while I'll lay with my belly against the bed, but my head tilted on the pillow. I'm get a swollen lymph node underneath my ear everytime. It's painful. I do believe you can get them from sleeping in weird positions.

I get the very same thing. I usually sleep in a coma position with my arm under my pillow and I notice when I sleep on my left side it's worse. I wake to a lump just under my ear and back jaw bone. As mentioned the left side is worse and the lump is quite large and sore. During the course of the day it subsides.
Do you have any idea what causes this to happen?

Hi,
I think I've got a gland or lymph node that keeps swelling over night. It's on the back of my head but only on the left side and sensitive to the touch...it feels like a head bump. During the day it disappears. Then the next morning it's back. Could this be due to my pillows being to bulky or low?

Hello.
Swelling of a gland or lymph node on the back of your head, particularly on one side, could potentially be caused by various factors. One possibility is an infection or inflammation in the area that is causing the lymph node to react. Lymph nodes often swell in response to infection or inflammation as they work to filter and fight off harmful substances in the body.
Regarding your question about pillows, it's possible that your pillow's shape or firmness could be contributing to your symptoms. If the pillow doesn't provide proper support to your head and neck or if it puts pressure on certain areas, it could potentially lead to discomfort and swelling.
Consider trying different pillows or adjusting the height and firmness to see if it makes a difference. However, it's still advisable to consult a doctor to rule out any other potential underlying causes. If you haven't already checked?
