No prescription can be issued on the free HealthTap platform. Majority of enlarged lymph nodes prove to be reactive or in other words due to inflammation in the close by region, in your case it can be dental for example. Best to have it examined with your doc, who can also inspect possible sources for its root or follow in time as needed.

You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!
