A member asked:
My lymph node under my right jaw is larger than the one under my left i have no apparent injury or infections.is this normal?

Not necessarily: An enlarged lymph node is not necessarily normal. Has it recently enlarged? are they painful? It is possible that you are describing salivary glands and not lymph nodes. Recommend seeing a physician for an evaluation and to rule out serious occult problems.
