What Causes Tonsil Discoloration With A Swollen Lymph Node?
I have a impacted wisdom tooth.. but, I have also had a swollen lypmhnode on the same side of the wisdom tooth.... but the lymphnode has been swollen ever since march. when I had strep . the right tonsil never went down and I still have what look like like white stuff on tonsil and white tounge.. my doctor put me on another antibiotic but did nothing... I am scared this is cancer... could this have something to do with my wisdom tooth.. I also have pain in back of my neck on ride side. and tightness in jaw..

hello
please dont worry as i dont think it is cancer , since generally cancer will progress faster and you would have developed other symptoms by now , the lymph node enlargement can be both due to the tonsil infection and the impacted wisdom tooth, you will need another course of antibiotics, please meet your doctor for the same.
take care!
