[|Human|] Good Afternoon,Hope you are in the best of health.  I would like to ask 2 things please:1.  My 19year old daughter has TMJ, when she chews anything on her left side, she gets a clicking sound.  What can i give her?2.  My Right side of the neck has a node, can this be related to my teeth and gum problem?Thanking you in advanceAnisa
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome.  Thanks for writing your query.  TMJ problems may arise due to altered biting habits may lead to pain in front of ears. This makes mouth opening, biting and swallowing difficult.  Teeth grinding habit often alters the biting habit and leads to causal disharmony.  Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination. So please visit a dentist and get the evaluation done.  You may need an OPG radiograph done for you, which will help in ruling out the problem. Accordingly, treatment can be planned.  Enlargement of lymph nodes in the neck is called as lymphadenopathy, and it is a sign of infection. Yes it may be the result of tooth infection spreading to underlying structures, or it may arise due other health problems. Please get the examination done by a physician. I hope this helps, take care.
