Brief Answer:
It can be an infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

The swollen lymph nodes on jaw an neck may represent an infection of the throat or teeth.
I think you should get further evaluated doing a total blood count with formula .
Also you may need to visit a dentist to check teeth and if everything is ok you need to check your throat to ENT doctor.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
