Question 1

why do i have extremely enlarged lymph node under the jaw?

Accepted Answer

Monitoring Centers: The lymphatic system absorbs and carries things too big to go into the arteries and veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph to see if anything bad is there like bacteria, viruses, cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts. They enlarge/harden in response to the inflammation created when they react.

Question 8

swollen lymph node under jaw  when i lean my head down i feel the knot i have a cold?

Accepted Answer

Possibly.: It's possible to have swollen lymph nodes as part of a cold or other upper respiratory infection.  You could consider waiting until the cold gets better & see what happens to your lymph node.  It will probably get better on its own.  If it doesn't, you may want to see your primary doctor about it.

Question 10

Within 2 weeks: if there is no residual infection at the extraction site, then the lymph node usually normalizes in very short time but typically within 2 weeks. I Rx that you get the lymph node checked if it persists.
