What Causes Swollen Lymph Node Under The Jaw With Shortness Of Breath?
Question: The lymph node area under my jaw hurts and feels swollen, and also a little shortness of breath ,should I go to a doctor or are there anything I could that would stop this feeling? Any antibiotics or home remedies? Thank you for your time!!
Brief Answer:
Hello. This could be a salivary gland inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Depending where it's located, this could either be a lymph node or a submandibular salivary gland with a stone impacted in its duct. If it's a tender lymph node, that would signal an infection--maybe a tooth abscess. You can take ibuprofen for the pain for now, but you do need to see a doctor to see if you need a course of antibiotics.
Please let me know if you need any more information
