A member asked:

What causes chronic pain in the submandibular lymph node?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Christine Hom answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Pain in the neck : Usually pains are not due to the lymph node itself. Look for redness, local swelling and fever. You will want to see your doctor for a thorough history and physical - be sure to bring a list of when and where the symptoms started and what makes them worse.
