Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having quick sharp (3-4 second take your breath away) pains in my submandibular gland area (right side) as well as right under my lower right rib cage (near gall bladder area) simultaneously. I don t feel sick other than allergies - although I thought I had something on Wednesday, but woke up Thursday fine. Is this just normal gland work (fighting some infection somewhere) or something I need to be concerned about?
The symptoms can be related to an enlarged lymph node due to an infection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to do an ultrasound of the sub mandibular gland if the pain continues.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
