Question 1

feels like two permanently swollen lymph nodes, just on left side of neck. one under jaw, other lower down neck. no pain, but always there. reasons?

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.

Question 2

swollen lymph nodes under jaw- what could it be?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Depends upon your age and whether you smoke and drink alcohol.  Most  nodes in the neck are benign and related to inflammation/infection.  But, tumors of the mouth and throat can spread to lymph nodes under the jaw. Lymphoma sometimes starts as lymph nodes in the neck. The submandibular salivary gland is under the jaw and may get inflamed. Get it checked if the nodes have been present for 2+ weeks.

Question 3

can painful face blisters cause swollen lymph nodes under jaw? lymph nodes with size of 10 to 12 mm and 5,6 mm width. for many years.

Accepted Answer

Systemic infection: your symptoms are ominous and serious: please get examined and tested asap.

Question 4

my wbc is in range of 13 to 15 since 2 months. now i have swollen lymph nodes under jaw which are painful on touch. i also have low grade fever 99'f?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: You should see your doctor to be evaluated and have blood test ( CBC ,Blood culture ,EBV , CMV) to find the cause so be treated.

Question 5

swollen lymph nodes under jaw 1.8x1 cm and neck, sweating, body ache, high wbc (11), dental ruled out, ent ruled out, gp ruled out, who should i see?

Accepted Answer

Salivary glands: See oral surgeon or oral medicine specialist for evaluation. Possible salivary glands infection, lymph nodes infection or jaw bone infection.
Be well.

Question 6

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 7

i have swollen lymph nodes in the neck one under left of chin and one in back of head right side don't have any symptoms had them for about 3 months?

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 8

i have a favor blister and swollen lymph nodes on my right side   what do i need to do it just started two days ago but it hurts to open my jaw?

Accepted Answer

Here is what I sugge: Fever blisters are common but they are self limiting and typically go away within 5-7 days. All you need to do just now is take a pain medicine if the pain is bothering you. Tylenol 2 tablets will relieve the pain for 6-8 hours....so it can be repeated 2 or 3 times a day.
If you are not feeling better in 2-3 days, go see your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 9

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 10

i have a pair of swollen lymph nodes, they where scanned by a doctor and where fine. they are half an inch in size and are on both sides of my jaw and i still have them 2 years after the scan still without reason. could these be permanently enlarged?

Accepted Answer

: Those are reactive lymph nodes and they will likely stay with you for the rest of your life. They may get enlarged temporarily when you have a new infection in your oral cavity, either bacterial or viral infection, in the future.
