A member asked:
What is causing my jaw to hurt and my lymph node to swell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dental infection: A tooth abscess or dental infection may be the cause of jaw pain and lymph node swelling. The first person to help with a differential diagnosis is a dentist. They are trained to localize tooth borne or jaw related infections. If no answer there, an md consult or ENT consult would be appropriate.

I have a tender, moveable, swollen lymph node (I think) between my ear and my TMJ. My ear feels full, my jaw hurts, and I have post-nasal drip. Could this be a dental cause if I feel no pain in my teeth? On antibiox, but should I go to dentist now?
