Does Enlarged Lymph Node In Ear Cause Cavities In Teeth?

Hi, I have a question...all 4 of my wisdom teeth are slightly impacted and have cavities I got 1 so far extracted. I have an enlarged mastoid lymph node behind my ear and pressure in both ears, could this be from impacted wisdom teeth? The enlarged lymph node is on the opposite side from the wisdom tooth that was extracted. I am a 24 year old female.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction of wisdom tooth now you have swelling in your lymph nodes opposite side , dont worry , extraction of wisdom tooth doesnt cause lymph node enlarged now , you do is consult dentist and go for investigations of that side of teeth that have swollen lymph nodes , may be any tooth is carious or periodontal problem causing enlarged lymph nodes

If then you wont get relief then consult physician for this

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
