Re: Boil and Swollen Lymph Node
Working in a cancer hospital, I can assure you when sepsis sets in (a relatively common occurrence in cancer pts) they are not "checking their temperature" and "posting on internet forums asking if people think they have sepsis". They're on their back feeling extremely ill and being blue lighted to the hospital. So we can rule that out with you immediately.
Nodes swell for a lot of reasons. Swollen lymph nodes can even occur when someone has head lice! So swollen nodes in the area located beside the boil is a very normal thing.
You have nothing to worry about. Good luck
