A member asked:

Can swollen glands (maybe return of glandular fever) be causing my jaw pain? it's absolute agony and keeps cracking, pain killers aren't touching it

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably not: Swollen lymph nodes in the neck region probably aren't causing jaw popping and pain but can have many other sources. Need a check in the neck region by your physician. And your jaw issue by a qualified Dentist

TMJ: is a more likely cause. See your dentist for an evaluation.
