Hi ledfor3!

What you may be experiencing is an infection in your lump nodes.  I have had people complain of this in the past.  It does sound like you have an infection of some sort.  Have you taken any antibodies lately?

My initial guess was that there may have been a sinus infection but an ENT would definitely spot that.  

What has your dentist said about it?  Is there any numbness or tingling?
