The functions of the lymph nodes
The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels (they are taken from the tissues of all the harmful products of metabolism, toxins and bacteria) and lymph nodes, in which the decontamination of lymph. Lymph nodes are a kind of defensive forts in the way of infection, where there is a constant war of immune cells to the infection.
The lymphatic network removes the organs and tissues of all the toxins and foreign particles. As they enter the lymph vessels to the lymph nodes, which is a large accumulation of immune cells. Immune cells "pounce" on "outsiders", and devour them, dissolving inside. Lymph nodes are often located not individually, but in groups, on a course limfatichekih vessels and close to the blood vessels. In humans, there are several hundred of the lymph nodes, most of which is hidden deep in the body. On the surface of lymph nodes
Lymph nodes - what keeps our immune system
 sometimes can be felt in the neck, the neck, under the jaw, groin and armpits.
In the neck region located superficial and deep cervical lymph nodes, the value of which may vary from a few millimeters to 1-2 cm in diameter. They generally fall into a few lymphatic vessels and bringing out fewer in number but larger caliber efferent lymph vessels. The most common cervical lymph nodes can not be felt, but sometimes they grow in size.
Lymph nodes - a settler, where are going, and then destroyed all foreign substances. They are formed of immune cells - B lymphocytes (they absorb and dissolved in itself any alien substance) leukocyte factor that regulates immune cell reproduction and special proteins or immunoglobulins antibody (they are glued together with foreign particles and remove them from the body).
Moreover, return of the lymph tissue in the blood salts, water and proteins purified from infections and toxins.
What and why changes may occur in the cervical lymph nodes
Cervical lymph nodes protect against infection and tumors of organs located in the head and neck. They react differently to certain processes in the body.
If cervical lymph nodes increased in size, but are painless and easy to move at a palpation, this suggests that they are an active process of struggle against any infection. In this case, the task of the doctor is to identify the infection - carious teeth, chronic tonsillitis
Chronic tonsillitis - inflammation of the tonsils
 , Sinusitis
Sinusitis - when a puncture is required
 . Lymph nodes and tonsils are - their increase indicates that they are fighting an infection.
But sometimes the lymph nodes become painful - it says that lymph node is unable to cope with their work to neutralize the infection, and the infection takes over, causing inflammation in the lymph node
. In this case it is necessary to identify and treat not only the source of infection, but also the lymph node
. In some cases there is purulent inflammation of the node and then require surgery - opening the abscess
. For example, the tonsils may occasionally become inflamed (purulent tonsillitis)
. If they are increased, often inflamed, but, nevertheless, do their job and delay clearance of the infection, then a condition called chronic compensated tonsillitis and requires medical treatment
. But if the tonsils completely lose their protective function, and themselves become a source of infection, a condition called chronic decompensated tonsillitis, the tonsils are removed
. When angina and chronic tonsillitis and increased cervical lymph nodes
.
Finally, the lymph nodes may increase with breeding in them a large number of atypical (tumor) cells. In humans, these cells produced continuously and in large numbers - there is nothing wrong as long as the immune system does its job, that is, as long as these cells are destroyed in the near tissues produces their lymph nodes. If the lymph nodes fail, then they accumulate tumor cells, the lymph nodes are converted into fixed, welded together conglomerates, ie there are metastases
Metastasis - danger everywhere
 tumor adjacent to the primary tumor of the lymph nodes.
What if increased cervical lymph nodes
In this case, you should consult your doctor, who will find out the cause of this increase in spending necessary examinations. Many doctors say about the nature of lymph nodes increase, their pain and mobility. The patient should certainly explore the otolaryngologist and dentist, if necessary, the other in-depth methods of examination in order to identify the source of infection or tumor, which for the time being can not manifest itself in any way.
If it is determined that the cause of increase in the lymph nodes in the neck is a certain source of infection in the head or neck, then simultaneously with its treatment is to help the lymph node in their work to neutralize the infection. Will, for example, medicinal herbs that strengthen the immune system (echinacea, eluterokokk, lemongrass, ginseng). Strengthens the immune system and stimulate protective strength of the body (including the production of immune cells) various means hardening of the body.

Denis, at least you know the location of the lymph nodes in the neck, it seems to me that the problem that you have voiced far-fetched, but there is another.

Last summer, I had swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck. A neighbor said that this is nothing terrible, just something inflamed, the infection has spread throughout the body, and here's the result.

Last summer, my son suddenly started swelling of lymph nodes in the neck. Of course, I was scared and called the pediatrician, after examining the baby, the doctor said that the replenishment caused scratch on the arm, which caused the cat. Then we remembered that the day before had been visiting his grandmother and son did play with the cat. We have written an antibacterial drug, after the beginning of its application, the site began to gradually dissolve, after 3 days of it was gone. Since then, I strongly attitude, forbade the child to play with the animals.
Thanks to our divisional pediatrician that she always carefully examines. And always pay attention to swollen lymph nodes in the neck, even if the diagnosis is usually SARS. It recommends that only "dry heat" to warm them. I do not even suspect that they may serve as a signal for so many diseases!
But our local pediatrician is not so kind to the children examined. When his son was 3 years old, I myself drew her attention to the small lump on his neck. The doctor felt that nothing serious, and Mama just too nervous. Here I commemorate this vrachihu every word when we with the child in a few months ended up in hospital with a diagnosis of hyperplasia of the lymph nodes of the neck.

If a swollen lymph node in the neck and the treatment does not work, even after a month, some doctors may suggest surgical removal. Do not immediately agree, if a lymph node does not disturb and does not continue to swell further need to wait a little, it can dissolve itself. Such things have happened already, so I want to warn in case.

And there is, if I sell from drafts.
Basically, the lymph nodes in the neck inflamed and enlarged for colds and throat infections, as with otitis.

Doctors in this case can assign immunomodulators and that should help.
When I served in the army emergency on my neck a little swollen lymph node, I was hospitalized after treatment in the medical unit.

My child summer increased lymph node in the neck. However, no injuries in the neck was not before the child was absolutely healthy. Lymph node after a couple of days longer palpable, but instead increased lymph node in the groin. A blood test showed an increase in the number of leukocytes and lymphocytes, ESR normal. Ultrasound lymph nodes, spleen and liver showed that the organs are normal, only minor changes in the lymph node. It's been 3 months, decreased lymph node in the groin, but detectable by palpation.
