Dentist,  's  Response
Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Pain and swelling of the lymph nodes is due to tooth decay.
Whe the decay reaches the nerves and via root to the periapical space there is pain.
Swelling of lymph nodes is also due to it..
So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist and get x rays of the teeth done..
The teeth that has pain will be treated with root canal treatment..
Superficial cavities will be treated with just fillings..
Antibiotics can give only temporary relief and the infection will flare up till the infection will be removed by treating the teeth..
Constipation and lower spine pain is not related to this..
Consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..
You can however take high fibre diet, stool softeners, drink plenty of water and do regular walks and exercise..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
