The answer to your question thus ,it could be a cause and could not be .
It could and it couldn't be .
While drug abuse effects on the body vary depending on the drug used, all drug abuse negatively impacts one's health. Common effects of drug abuse on the body include sleep changes and decreased memory and cognitive abilities.
However ,common physical problems include:
>Chest or lung pain
>Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain
>Skin can be cool and sweating or hot and dry
>Diseases such as hepatitis B or C, or HIV from needle-sharing
>Impotence
>More frequent illnesses
>Frequent hangovers, blackouts
Drug abuse ,weaken the body and increase risks for infections and infection can be a cause for a swollen neck ,it decreases immunity and triggers an auto immune disease and thus may increase inflammations all over the body and neck one of them .
the body when the immune system is weak begins to fight using white blood cells and thus enlargement of the lymph nodes in the body this also could be a cause .
The term "swollen glands" usually refers to enlarged lymph nodes. In fact, lymph nodes are not actually glands. They are small bundles of white blood cells that are present in multiple areas throughout our body.
One of the ways the body's immune system responds to infections and inflammation is to greatly increase the number of white cells in the lymph nodes causing them to swell. Most often swollen lymph nodes are caused by an infection or some other benign condition. Less commonly, lymph nodes enlarge related to cancer.
The parts of the body where people and their doctors can see or feel swollen lymph nodes include the neck, armpit, and groin areas.
In the neck, a swelling may be seen or felt that may be something other than an enlarged lymph node. A neck swelling might be one of the salivary glands in front of the ears and under the jaw or the thyroid gland that sits in the lower part of the neck in front of the windpipe.
One or more abnormal swellings in the neck that is still present after one month requires evaluation by your doctor.
Swelling that persists for more than four weeks raises some suspicion that there could be a serious medical problem. But most often, the cause turns out to be benign.
