Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain And Swollen Lymph Node In Neck

may not be significant lymph node
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
A swollen lymph node just below jaw can't be explained by pneumonia. The lymp nodes enlarged due to pneumonia are inside the chest and can't be felt. The most common cause of enlarged lymph nodes in that area are upper respiratory infection and dental or ear problems. Most of the time, if we don't feel suspicious during examination, we don't investigate further.
I am sure your doc had felt the gland and thought it is benign, hence did not order further investigations.
Sometimes pneumonia may not present with too much cough. But fever of 103 and patch on X-ray is very much suggestive of pneumonia.
For the lymp node, I won't be too much concerned right now. When you go for follow up, take it up with your doc. If it still feels benign, then nothing to do.
Hope this helps.
Regards
