Have Swollen Cervical Lymph Nodes On Neck, FNAC Report Awaited. Had Undergone Tooth Extraction Few Weeks Ago

Hello, I have swollen cervical lymph nodes (thats what the USG report says) on the left neck. Did FNAC two days back. Initially the 16 X 10 mm SOL was painless, but after the FNAC, I can feel a pain if its pressed. I must also tell that I underwent a tooth extraction around 3 weeks back..is there something to worry?..FNAC report is awaited.

hi
cervical lymph node commonly gets enlarged in oral and nasal cavity infection as in you case tooth was infected, usually they respond well to antibiotic course for 5-7 days.
