Be seen: It could simply be a virus causing your symptoms.  See your physician for an exam and diagnosis.

Question 2

swollen glands under jaw painful on one side?

Accepted Answer

: Reactive lymph nodes which may be present in a upper respiratory illness or they may be due to an active bacterial infection in the oral cavity such as tooth infection, tonsillitis, etc. You do not need oral antibiotic if the reactive lymph nodes are due to a viral infection. Good luck.

Question 3

enlarged swollen glands under jaw, do i need to remove it?

Accepted Answer

No: It is common for these glands to well up from any kind of sore throat. They would likely go away on their own. But if they are painless and start growing in size beyond 2-3 weeks then you need to get a medical examination to be sure that nothing more serious is affecting the lymph nodes.

Question 4

Question 9

i have swollen glands under jaw, my jaw has a tingling feeling sometimes, it feels like my upper lip is slightly numb. no pain, but slight irritation.?

Accepted Answer

The numbness: Caught my attention, because the vth cranial nerve has three major branches, and yours seems like the second. But, you need to see a doctor and a dentist.  There can be some simple things, and some scary things, but i rally cannot tell from what you told us. You need an exam and history.
