    Localised infection nearby can cause regional lymph node swelling.

When to Go to the Emergency Room Instead

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you or someone with you has:

  • Swollen glands persisting more than 4 weeks without explanation
  • Night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and swollen glands

If you are unsure, go to the ER. It is always better to be safe.
