What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes?
Hi, I m a 23 year old female. About 2 weeks ago my lower lip was swollen, no fever, chills, pain or night sweats. My submental lymph node was enlarged so I went to an ent doctor and he prescribed me two anti allergic medications. My lower lip was back to normal in 2 to 3 days but I m worried about the enlarged lymph node. It does not hurt but I can feel a small round rubbery thing under my chin and it s been worrying me. I don t have a sore throat or fever or any other symptoms. I also have a pimple on my right cheek but I m not sure if that has anything to do with it?

Hi,
It seems that enlarged sub-mandibular lymph nodes might be due to swollen lip or having pimple on cheek.
Nothing to worry, gradually this lymph node will subside.
If there is more infection in pimple go for one antibiotic medicine like Doxycycline for 5-7 days which will help in bringing lymph node normal as well.
Ok and take care.
