No self-Rx: Pain & Swelling are red flags raised by your body that there is a problem (perhaps infection) requiring professional care. Please call your GP or an ENT before problem worsens and spreads.

A member asked:
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?
