A member asked:
What to do if i have swollen lymph nodes and i chew tobacco!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Swollen lymph nodes are a sign of some kind of inflammatory process, which can be infection and in some cases malignancy. Those who chew tobacco are at greater risk of cancer of the head and neck and this could result in enlarged nodes. You should see your doctor for a thorough evaluation. They may refer your to an ENT physician for more definitive studies. Meanwhile, stop chewing - get help.
