Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain in case if you have swollen lymph node under the jaw line and along with it there is pain on swallowing, talking or coughing etc there is a possibility that there is some problem related to wisdom tooth in case if you have an erupting or impacted wisdom tooth and gum flap over the tooth is inflamed leading to swelling and in the area as well as swollen lymph nodes below the jaw line..
You should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and an X ray can help in confirming the cause and in case of impacted wisdom tooth extraction of the tooth can help.
In case if the tooth is not impacted removal of gum flap can help..
If will be followed by antibiotics and painkillers..
As of now you can continue taking Ibuprofen and do warm compresses over the lymph nodes..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
