What Is The Cause For Swollen Lymph Nodes On The Lower Right Jaw In The Neck?
I have a swollen lymph node on lower right jaw in the neck. Some time it used to hurt but now it rerely hurts. Its been swollen for 3 years now. I even went to doctor when it was first swollen he gave me some antibiotics but it did not work. Some time it hurts now also but sometime the lymph node on the left also hurts.

Hello
there can be two reasons for the swelling
first one is a swollen lymph node , which may increase in size during any infection in the mouth , teeth etc.
Second reason can be a swollen salivary gland which can be due to small stone in the duct of the gland
Either way , i would like you to meet your ent doctor , who will examine you and guide you further.
Thanks
