[|Human|] Hi. I have what I think is a swollen lymph node under my jaw on the right side of my jaw. It hurts really bad. My lymph nodes under my jaw are usually swollen, but not this bad. My doctor has asked me about them and expressed no concern as long as they aren t painful. But this one hurts without even touching it and it s quite painful, enough that it makes me want to cry. What could this be caused from? Is it treatable? Is it a serious condition to be concerned about?
[|AI|]  Hello, I went through your query. The swelling under your neck is maybe either a swollen lymph node or a swollen salivary gland. The lymph nodes below the jaws will get enlarged as a reaction to any local infection like an infected tooth or gums. And the fact that is very painful, it is more indicative of an infection. Also there is a possibility that the swelling may not be a swollen lymph node. It can be a salivary gland whose duct may be blocked by a calculus(stone). Both the conditions requires you to visit a general dentist to find the actual cause of the swelling and treat it accordingly. Hope my answer helps.
