Driving me mad. Can anyone esl feel lymth node around there jaw
Hello... I get a swollen node on my left side right under the jaw line. Sometimes I will eat something and it will just sell up really big. The size like the top of a golf ball. It's so weird. Before it use to just swell little but the last 2 times it got really big and fast. Under my tongue would start to feel weird and it felt like the skin or muscles under my tongue would get tight then the noDE will swell. I went to the doctor about it and egg said nothing to worry about you probably just trying to fight off an infection. And asked when was the last time I went to the dentist. Which was a month b4. So I know it's not my teeth.
Sounds like me i went doctors and nothing wrong.... What do u think it is
Hey Ambee,
If your talking about nodes under your chin (Submental nodes) then your not alone! For as long as i can remember for me these nodes on both sides have been large, firm, painless and movable. My GP was just like "meh" nothing to worry about as long as they don't grow bigger and bigger over time. These nodes apparently do ALOT of work for most people, charged with filtering the lower part of the mouth, teeth etc so this i quite a common complaint accoriding to what i've read. Remember cuts, ulcers and injurys to the inside of your mouth aswell as some bacteria that could be in in there mean these nodes have to be active alot. The fact that yours swells and then recedes back down i'd say is a pretty good sign its just doing its normal duties fighting infection. Keep an eye on it but seriously don't let it worry you! See your doctor again if it grows and grows but its quite possible its a node thats just along for the ride!
Thank-you how have you been my nodes are feeling little large by I had a sore throat still do cnt get rid of it it hurts to swallow and have a cold. Hope ur okie
Hi ambee... how are you feeling today? My nodes have been pretty good lately. Thank god! How's your throat, still hurt to swallow? When I had strep throat a while ago my node's swelled up big. I don't recall them ever swelling from a regular cold.
