Question 1

what can cause swollen glands under chin like close to the throat?! help please freakin out ! i have a tooth abcess! do i have ludwings agnia?

Accepted Answer

Abscessed tooth: An abscessed  lower back tooth can cause swollen glands in the area you describe. Your glands (lymph nodes) swell up when they are fighting an infection in that area. This is what they are supposed to do. It is unlikely that you have ludwig's  angina. Regardless you need to see a dentist or an oral surgeon tomorrow morning. They may place you on an antibiotic to help shrink the infection.

Question 2

ear pain and swollen glands under chin?

Accepted Answer

Be checked: It sounds like infection and you should be examined and managed as needed to help you get better. All the best.

Question 3

now month 9 still have swollen glands under chin that have become painful. ent says that they will go down they want to. what can i do for relief?

Accepted Answer

See pediatrician: If the child has had painful lymph node for 9 months, you need to get him checked. See another ENT if necessary.

Question 4

swollen glands under chin. hurts really bad has since march. went to dr a month ago about says she that it maybe a virus. its really hard to move neck?

Accepted Answer

Submental nodes: Submental nodes need more investigation. I recommend visiting an ENT surgeon. You have had previous thyroid issues. Oral cavity needs investigation by dentist. Head and neck full exam. Weight loss? See ENT and dentist.

Question 5

i have swollen glands under chin cos i had a sore throat and now a cold sore. when cold sore will be gone, how long does it take for glands to settle?

Accepted Answer

A while.: a first time cold sore might take 1-2 weeks to completely resolve and the nodes could stay swollen for a month or more.  Subsequent outbreaks usually resolve more quickly.  The lymph nodes may never go back to their initial size but should be less than 1 cm in size and not be tender when everything settles down.

Question 6

very sore throat that feels "itchy" (best word i can think to describe the scratchy pain). same  feeling deep in ear canal. swollen glands under chin.

Accepted Answer

Please get a strep: Throat culture/ test. Antibiotics are imperative for strep throat.  Try saltwater gargles. Mix tsp of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle w this several times/day. You can gargle w aloe vera juice a couple of times per day. A mix of chamomile tea w honey ; a small amt of lemon juice helps.

Question 7

i have 2 swollen glands on neck under chin for several months & feel very tired,
should i see a dr for this?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Are the "glands" underneath the jaw further back, or right at the chin? Most likely lymph nodes, but there are other causes. A viral infection is the most likely, but I would have a doctor check it out, as there are some more serious problems which could cause this.

Question 8

have swollen glands on both sides -under the chin, a painful sore and red throat, tonsils are not swollen, on going for two three months?

Accepted Answer

Possible mono: Your description could be consistent with mononucleosis which is caused by ebstein barr virus.  You should see your regular doctor for further evaluation and to confirm or refute this possibility.

Question 9

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 10

swollen partoid gland, 2 swollen lymph nodes under chin, and severe headache no fever no other symptoms, what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: 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.
