Swollen lymph node under jawline one side 2 months antibiotics not working doesn't get better or worse can this be a throat cyst?

See a doc: while a swollen lymph node is usually benign (usually from an infection), at times it could represent something more serious. the best thing to do is to see your doctor who, after examining you, may decide that a biopsy is necessary or just a period of watchful waiting.

Not a node: The cause of a swollen gland in the submax area would be an intraoral infecttion that would quickly respond to antibiotics. More likely this is an enlarged submax gland that might have become symptomatic from a calculus in the submax duct system or a glandular submax tumor.

Swollen nodes: Are you medicating yourself or was the antibiotic prescribed by your doctor? Any swelling that has not subsided within 7-10 days needs to be examined. Call your physician or dentist for a clinical/visual examination.
