Can recurring Herpes with stress cause swollen lymph nodes in neck?
Yes- There can be neck pain and enlarged lymph nodes. The lymph nodes can be seen or felt as bumps below the skin. There can be bad breath and drooling. In severe cases, children may refuse to eat or drink because of the pain caused by the infection. In such cases, their guardians should visit a physician. In older people (such as teenagers) who become infected with the virus for the first time, the symptoms may be more severe than in young children. The sore throat and flu-like symptoms may be difficult to distinguish from glandular fever.
