A member asked:

Swollen lymph nodes for 6 months. thought to be from wisdom tooth infection, now 5 weeks removed. nodes still swollen/mildly tender/rubbery. cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exam asap: Never ignore these symptoms. You will need a physical exam, blood and urine testing and possible lymph node biopsy, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment: this may all be from dental infection; however I do recommend a medical exam
