Symptoms of cervical lymphadenitis vary depending on the severity. In mild infections, there is usually slight enlargement of the neck lymph nodes accompanied by significant pain, which may worsen during speaking. In severe infections, the lymph nodes become markedly swollen and hyperplastic, and may even develop abscesses, chills, high fever, and other systemic toxic symptoms. It is important to seek timely medical examination and treatment.
