The area is tender to the touch. And I have to focus on swallowing, kind of like when ones walking gait is off and one constantly watching uneven ground to avoid tripping.

Thanks for all the hugs 🫂 everyone. Still a little swollen on the the right, the left side must have gotten jealous and wanted to join in....because it's even on both sides now. Swallowing in back to normal thank goodness. More C, D, and Zinc (low dose only) to help fight this viral bug I must have caught, even though I don't have a cough, runny/stuffy nose, or fever. Just a little more fatigue than usual. If it's not gone tomorrow I'll check with the doctor.

@A MyMSTeam Member I hope you got it checked out by your family physician or your neurologist. I don't know anything about the medicine your on so it could be a side effect which I would report to my neurologist. Hope it clears up for you soon and take care.

Swollen lymph nodes in the neck are not typically a direct symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). They are usually caused by common issues like viral or bacterial infections. However, some MS medications can increase the risk of infections, which might indirectly cause swollen lymph nodes.

Swallowing problems, known as Show Full Answer

Swollen lymph nodes in the neck are not typically a direct symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). They are usually caused by common issues like viral or bacterial infections. However, some MS medications can increase the risk of infections, which might indirectly cause swollen lymph nodes.

Swallowing problems, known as dysphagia, can occur in people with MS. Symptoms of dysphagia include:
- Coughing, choking, or sputtering when eating or drinking
- Difficulty chewing food
- Feeling as though food is stuck in the throat or chest
- Taking longer than usual to finish meals or drinks
- Difficulty controlling saliva or liquids, sometimes leading to drooling

If you experience these symptoms, it's important to inform your healthcare provider or a neurology expert.
