A member asked:
I have had 1 swollen tonsil and swollen lymph node on my jaw for a few days now. today i woke up to a swollen gum on the same side. the swelling is around my wisdom tooth and also my top front teeth. could these symptoms be related? what should i do?

Infection: You likely have an infection spreading from your gum. The presence of chills points to a systemic infection which requires immediate medical attention and prompt dental care.
