What Causes Irritation In Lymph Node?

Hello I was wondering why my lymph nodes irritate under my jaw/ chin. I did have 2 bad wisdom tooth which cause me to have a absese in my mouth. Well I have had my wisdom teeth removed the dentist cut the absese and squeezed some of the infection out. After all that I had to go back to my doctor because she say I was about to get the gingivitis disease in my mouth it was the thrush on my tongue then she changed my allergies med from tavist to Claritin with the nasal drip and a high antibiotic name Cleocin which helped out and diflucan for yeast infection. Through it all my lymph nodes don t swell but they still irritate and I m wondering what is the next step I need to take

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

I've gone through your situation and can perceive the magnitude of concerns building within you!

Did you do any test from the collection within the lymph nodes?

If yes, then please mention the pathological reports; If not please do an FNAC test with AFB/Fungal smears also; this is necessary for a definitive diagnosis and to plan the line of treatment!

As per your description, there is high chance of contagiuos infection from teeth/gingiva etc, but still it could be tuberculosis or some independent pathology of the lymph node itself!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
