Brief Answer:
The node is not related to the bruise over the neck

Detailed Answer:
Hello Madam,

Thanks for posting the query

The inflamed node below the right side of the jaw could be related to any inflammation or infection in the oral cavity (particularly over the right), the tip of the nose, lips and the tip of the tongue but not the bruise in the neck.

I would suggest to wait and watch for a couple of days more. If the swelling over the node increases or associated with pain, please consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.

Hope this answers your query; revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.

Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar N.
