The appearance of a lump of peanuts in the area around the neck or elsewhere around the body, can be a sign that your body has an infection or exposed to other diseases. This condition is called swollen lymph nodes, also known as adenopathy.

Adenopathy that appears to be a sign there is something wrong with your body, or maybe just a mild infection. However, it can also be a symptom of some underlying disease. To be sure, your doctor will check the adenopathy that appears on your body and other natural symptoms. Then, you may need to do some tests like:

  • Blood test. This is done to ensure the doctor's allegation of the underlying disease.
  • Scan / scanning. This is done to find the source of the infection or look for a possible tumor.
  • Biopsy. This is done if the doctor suspects the swelling is a tumor or cancer.

Most cases of adenopathy are caused by viral infections or bacterial infections. Often, swelling occurs near the infected part of the body. For example, swelling that occurs around the neck is usually caused by a throat infection.

Chicken pox
Measles
HIV
Herpes
Flu
Adenovirus
Sore throat
Tonsillitis
Ear infections
Lyme disease
TB disease
Chlamydia
Syphilis

2. Autoimmune disease

Swollen lymph nodes can also occur due to autoimmune diseases due to the immune system instead of mistakenly attacking healthy tissue, such as:
