You can get those lumps whenever you get really sick!. Like if you have the flu or a really bad cold or something like that!.

The lumps are actually swollen lymph nodes!. Lymph nodes are sort of like houses to your antibodies && you have them in lots of places on your body, including your neck!. They tend to swell up whenever you get sick!. Sometimes they can swell up large enough to where you need to ice them to reduce their size!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
