What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes On My Neck?

Hi, I have several swollen lymph nodes, one on each side of my neck, one under my jaw line, and now I noticed one at the back of my neck by my hairline. I do have dental work that needs to be done, besides that I have been healthy. The doctors did blood work and said it all came back normal. The nodes are painless and movable and the doctors all say it is most likely a result of the problems with my teeth and don't seemed worried, but I am.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, you have swollen movable lymph nodes on submandibular region , as you have mentioned, dont worry much , firstly you go to dentist for oral hygiene prophylaxis, there may be any carious teeth , may be periodontal problem , there may be infection which cause swollen lymph nodes,

If dentist check up comes to no diagnosis , then you can go to check up tp physician and go for Biopsy Of Lymph nodes which confirms infection is there or not.

Wish you good health

Hope this will help you.
