Question 1

bumps on middle of forehead. painful and itchy. started as 5 or 6 small bumps and are now 2 big ones. swollen lymph nodes on left side of neck/jaw.

Accepted Answer

Infection, shingles?: This sounds like a skin infection of some sort. It could be a bacterial infection (e.g. staph, strep, etc) but I'm more suspicious of herpes zoster (shingles). See a doctor ASAP. If bacterial, you'll need an antibiotic. If shingles, an antiviral drug (e.g. valacyclovir) needs to be started very soon to have maximum benefit.

Question 2

i have two small swollen lymph nodes on right side of neck under the jaw. they feel somewhat connected but small. is this normal? can sorta move each

Accepted Answer

Lymphadenopathy: It is likely that these are lymphs nodes doing what lymph nodes do, but you should see your Primary Care Provider. Enlarged "sorta" movable lymph nodes should not be ignored.

Question 3

i have had ibs for 5 years but for the last 3 months i have had dysphagia, swollen lymph nodes on right side of neck and sensation that some one is pu?

Accepted Answer

Sure, see GI doctor: Difficulty swallowing ("dysphagia") can be distinguished as a "transfer" problem (difficulty moving food from mouth to top of esophagus), "transit" problem (difficulty moving food down the esophagus), "spasm", gerd (due to sphincter problems), or obstructive (webs, rings, strictures, ulcer, tumor).  Best to see a gastroenterologist (gi doctor) for evaluation and treatment.

Question 5

swollen lymph nodes on the right side of neck. perfect cbc, no obvious signs of illn3ss. on augmintin for 10 days. 6 days down and no improvement?

Accepted Answer

Swollen node: enlarged lymph nodes can be due to infection, malignancy, HIV etc..., if nodes continue to be enlarged and there is no apparent reason for it, then a biopsy may be needed to find out why, sometimes the enlarged lymph node may shrink by itself without ever knowing why it was swollen

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: Small less than 1 cm freely movable not matted to surrounding tissue. Not source of great concern. But should be monitored. If change enlargement of other symptoms fever night sweats fatigue further evaluation indicated.

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Cervical Lymph Nodes: Enlargement of the lymph nodes in the anterior chain of the neck can be a sign of active infection or occult disease. Non tender but enlarged lump nodes in the neck may be reacting to infections drainage from the head and neck including mononucleosis, &amp;HIV disease.
Lymphomas may present with non tender lymph node enlargement. Consider a head and neck exam and maybe antibiotics and needle biopsy.
