Random swelling of lymph nodes. lymph nodes on right jaw line swollen and painful! doctor gave augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) went away...now back again. any ideas?

Lymph nodes: They could be from a number of causes. I would check with your dentist to make sure it is not coming from your teeth

Swollen Lymph nodes: Do you have current or previous history of tobacco.. Smoking or chewing. If you have long standing lymph nodes problems I will advise you to go see a Ear Nose Throat doc. Need Endoscopy and possibly node biopsies specially if increase in size of the nodes. Generally speaking, however, tender nodes in non smokers are likely due an infection anywhere in the ENT region.. tenderness is less concernin

Salivary nodes: These bumps may be swollen salivary glands that can get blocked by calcium deposits and then become infected. Easily treated with augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) but if infection returns I would seek attention from an ENT to see if the salivary duct is blocked. If this a lymph node infection, a biopsy is might be needed to determine the source of infection.
