What too do? Have a bit of pain in jaw but also and bad tooth on the same side of the lumps and always on sore lymph node in neck
Brief Answer:
Follow your doctor's advice...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history and the photo you provided carefully and understood your concerns.
1. The pain you are having in your jaw is due to bad tooth you are having at the same side. It is not caused by the tag on your tongue. This tag can give a fastidious feeling and no pain.
2. The sore lymph node in your neck is due to bad tooth. Once you get it treated adequately by the dentist, the sore lymph node will be reversed and you won't have any pain at all.
3. With regards to the lump you are having in your tongue, once again, they are not giving the pain and sore lymph nodes on your neck; on contrary they are related to bad tooth you are having. I think you should treat bad tooth first; and watchful waiting strategy for the tags for the moment and get back after 2 weeks to your doctor for further evaluation.
Keep on with good oral hygiene and anti-inflammatory meds like ibuprofen.
All the best!
