Swollen Lymph node below my Jaw
by vram81, Sep 29, 2009 09:22AM
I have a Painless swollen lymph node below my Jaw in the right side and I realized it before 2 years. It hasn't changed in size. I don't even realize it till I touch it. I have an issue with my wisdom teeth and I am yet to remove it. Whether I have to be worried about this swollen lymph node? I once discussed it with a doctor, he asked me to ignore it saying that it could be swollen because of my wisdom teeth. Thanks for your help.

I also have a swollen lump below my jaw in the right side - it may not be a lymph node - it is possible that it is your submandibular salivary gland. Check with your dentist - they know the anatomy of your mouth and jaw area. Typically the submandibular gland will swell without any pain, whereas swollen lymph nodes typically do exhibit pain of some sort. As a general rule of thumb, if you touch it and move it around and it feels stationary, as if it is stuck to something, I would do much further research into it.
