Q: Swollen lymph nodes in neck and fever

Hey guys...so, I have been suffering from swollen lymph nodes along the sides of my neck. I have always had swollen ones under my jawline since I was in my teens (I'm now 28 years old.) Having so many family members affected by cancer, I live in constant fear of them.

These new ones on my neck seemed to pop up, accompanied by a stiff neck...then a low-grade fever up to 101.

I don't have a sore throat, but did just recently get over what seemed like a stomach virus, and before that a bad cold.

I also have wisdom teeth that are impacted and coming in, peeking through my gumline.

Does anyone know what the swelling and fever could be originating from?

to be honest it can be various things. What you should do, is get a blood test and then you can tell what the problem is. most liekly an infection of some sort.
good luck.
