Can this be cancerous or due to infections?
On 10th September 2016 My wife aged 48 was found with swollen lymph nodes under her jaw. She underwent a dental implant procedure about 10 days before this.
The sonography report was as follows-
Date 10 September 2016

Submental --- 0.8 x 0.7 cms
0.8 x 0.7 cms

1.5 x 0.4 cms 2.1 x 0.4 cms
1.9 x 0.4 cms

On 27th September after an antibiotic course of 10 days with Augmentin , we got a new sonography done and the lymph nodes had shrunk a little. Results as follows-
