Allergic reactions and swollen lymph glands Posted: 07-04-08 09:12am
The gland on the left side of my neck got
swollen all of the sudden, I must say I am
perfectly healthy and exercise regularly,
have excellent digestion, etc. The only
thing I've done differently is that I
drank some water that had been purified
with some pills containing toluene
sulphachloramide..Is it possible that this
is some kind of allergic reaction to this
substance?? I've stopped using it but just
now so maybe it's too ealry to tell,. I
know, but I just wanted to know if it is
possible
Allergic reactions are not indicated by
swollen lymph glands. Swollen lymph
glands are usually due to infection.
Rarely, it can be due to a tumor. If the
swelling doesn’t disappear spontaneously
in 2 weeks you may want to ask for medical
attention.
