Swollen lymph nodes from an impacted wisdom tooth

thank you for taking time out to answer my question.  I have an impacted wisdom tooth that is decaying at the top left part of my jaw in the back.  It does not hurt.  but recently I have small amount of white mucus in the back of my throat. It is very thick as well as 2 swollen lymph nodes that i know of one is a Superficial cervical it is on the left side in the center of my neck and the other one that i felt is inside of the collar bone.  It has been decaying for awhile.  I was wondering could that be possible for my swollen lymph nodes?  They are not big they are about the size of a dime.  They both do not hurt at all. I know if i put my tong to it it taste salty but bitter.  I am hoping they are caused by the tooth.

Thank you.

Note: I have been thinking it might be hiv but I took a test and beg the girl i slept with to take a test also we both came back negative. *(thank you God)  but it has only been 6 week when we took it.  I do not feel any lymph in my arm pits.
