Possibly: But may also be from infected tooth, laceration, burn, virus, fungus, neoplasm, etc. you need professional care. Please see dentist for differential diagnosis and appropriate care. Don't try to fix this on your own.

Must be evaluated: Enlarged lymph node could mean infection. Why wait? See a local dentist for a definitive diagnosis.
