What is the cause of cervical lymph node enlargement?

The common causes of cervical lymph node enlargement include infection, some tumors, leukemia, etc., as follows:

Under normal circumstances, lymph nodes are the main immune organs of the human body. When the body is infected by bacteria, lymph nodes will produce lymphocytes, which will then fight against bacteria. After lymphocytes devour bacteria, they will cause local lymph node enlargement, but most symptoms can be resolved after a period of time. Secondly, if the patient has thyroid or throat tumors, then due to tumor infiltration into cervical lymph nodes, it can also lead to cervical lymph node enlargement. In addition, leukemia disease development process, because leukemia cells in the lymph nodes continue to proliferate, so can also cause neck lymph node swelling symptoms.
