A member asked:
Shooting pain felt in nodes below the ears on both sides for few seconds when eating something after a while. nodes can be felt when touching but is not visible. please advise?

Apparently you're not feeling any enlarged nodes and both areas are nontender. These features suggest there is no inflammation present. Shooting pains after eating could be irritable superficial nerves or some temporomandibular joint dysfunction. I advise consulting an ENT specialist or an oral surgeon if symptoms persist.

Recommend you see your dentist and have evaluation for jaw (TMJ) dysfunction, or alternative dental issues. As mentioned, an oral surgical consult might be needed.
