A member asked:
Can an abscess on your gums that look black cause your lymph nodes to swell in the neck and armpits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Abscesses that cause a lot of swelling in the mouth are the type that can spread to neck lymph nodes . This then becomes a cellulitis and can spread along facial planes to the heart, or even upward to the brain. Any mouth swelling should be checked by your dentist.
