What Do Swollen Lymph Nodes On The Left Side Of The Neck Indicate?

I have had very sore swollen glands on the left side of my neck for about a week, then my jaw started to ache, now my gums are red, swollen and painful. The pain has radiated into my neck and down into my shoulders as well. Do i need a medical dr or a dentist?

Hello,

Yes, you should seek medical attention to do the work-up for the cause of it. That might be due to viral infection, but investigations should be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
