yes. that would be one of the more logical possibilities to account for large reactive cervical lymph nodes. i am glad you are seeing an ent.
would tonsillitis cause my 6 year old to have a very red large swollen lymphnode in her neck? . my 6 year old was initially diagnosed with cervical lymphadenitis. she was given an antibiotic and the swelling in her next almost completely went away. then she got a stomach virus and the swelling came back but not as bad. once again it went almost completely away. now it is back again very swollen and red. she does not have a fever or a sore throat. her tonsils are very large. she has had bloodwork 4 times and an ultrasound. we are now seeing an ent. he said that it could be tonsils
