Recurred Swollen, Painful Lymph Nodes Under Chin And Ears. Diagnosed Possible Acid Reflux, On Medication. Smoker. Advice

my lymph nodes under my chin and ears are swollen and painful I do not feel sick or have a fever. I did have the same symptons about two months ago. I wen to a ENT he scoped my throat and said it might be caused from acid reflux. I am taking the perscriptions. It went away after a couple weeks. Now it is back and hurts worse than ever. I am a smoker and I am super worried I have tried to cut down on the smoking.

Hi,
Having enlarge and painful lymph nodes in chin and ear areas indicates that you have got some infection in surrounding area giving rise to this problem.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
One course of antibiotic will give you relief.
Try to quit smoking.
Ok and take care.
