Question 1

tender enlarged lymph node under chin

Accepted Answer

These lymph nodes: may not mean anything, unless there is a readily diagnosed condition that will explain their existence, such as acute infection or tumor.  Lymph nodes can pop in and out, without rhyme or reason.  The existence of CHRONICALLY enlarging lymph nodes would be a red flag.  Periodic followup CTs at intervals of 3 or 6 months would be recommended if they remain &gt;1 month.

Question 2

what can i do for an enlarged lymph node on back of head?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 3

can a long-term wisdom tooth eruption cause symptoms like swollen lymph nodes under chin, behind ear and enlarged gland right under the tongue ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: all unresloved infections over time could either drain or evolve  or both.  Infections with third molars could drain inferiorly  to the lymph nodes, or to the tongue, superiorly to the ear, or evolve into a cancerous focus.

Question 4

i have a sore under my tongue, around the sublingual gland and lymph node under chin is enlarged. what could be going on?

Accepted Answer

It might be...: ..A blocked salivary gland or it might be an infection.  Either way you should seek help from a dentist.

Question 5

two tender and swollen lymph nodes under chin (one larger than the other) and nausea (severity: mild) .

Accepted Answer

? Infection: Swollen tender lymph nodes suggest infection in the mouth, throat, tonsils etc. It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 7

chikenpox can cause neck tb to reoccur again? got swollen lymph nodes under chin, ear & back of head. is tb come back or is it due to chikenpox?

Accepted Answer

Mgt/workup: I would recommend an evaluation for TB. A chest radiograph and possibly cultures are indicated.

When you have chickenpox, there also are lymph nodes which enlarge, but in six weeks should return to normal.

Question 8

gums are puffy &hurt by molars (right). hurts to eat. lymph node under chin on same side hurts too. feels like soon whole right side will puff up :(?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Could be the start of an infection, but that's only a guess since you cannot be examined over the internet. Make a call to a local dentist who will take a radiograph, examine you, determine what ails you, explain it and your treatment options, and then treat you. Feel better soon.
