What Do Swollen Lymph Nodes Under The Jaw Indicate?

I have swollen lymph nodes under my jaw. Mild fever and pain when swallowing due to swollen tonsils are my only other symptoms, currently. Last year, I had mono, and this winter I ve had the flu, a respiratory infection, and a stomach virus. I m worried that mono has weakened my immune system. Should I be worried about a mono relapse or could my body just be trying to fight off another infection?

Hi.
Thanks for the query..

It can be a viral throat infection causing the symptoms that you are facing..
It is not necessarily mono..
The infection will however resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body..
As of now you can start with supportive treatment to relieve the symptoms like:
1. Gargle with a warm saline solution that is by mixing 1 teaspoon salt in a glass of water and warm it to make a luke warm solution..
2. Take a combination of decongestant like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Ambroxol and anti allergic levocetrizine and another combination of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen..
3. Do steam inhalations..
4. Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
5. Sip on warm water throughout the day..

Hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a week and if it worsen consult a General Physician and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
