Will an on going kidney infection cause swollen lymph nodes in the neck?
No, a kidney infection cannot cause this. Lymph node swelling in the neck can indicate a number of things, but usually it’s an infection somewhere above your shoulders. Examples include a throat infection, ear infection, scalp infection or even an infected tooth. The node swelling should go away a little while after the original infection clears. If they persist, then in spite of your lack of insurance, if you could find any way to see a doctor, it would be advisable. More concerning is that you believe you have a kidney infection. That can become a serious situation if not treated, but I’m guessing that you already know that.
