A member asked:

What do you suggest if my dad have two large swollen cervical lymph nodes under the jaw bone about 3cm large. is this serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: Has he been sick? Lymph nodes can swell in reaction to infections, but they (less frequently) can be signs of lymphoma (a lymph tumor). He should see his doctor and have them examined. Hope this helps!
