Hi Dr. Krunal ,
Appreciate your quick response !
Sure, I would do the same. I was already thinking of discussing the same with an ENT specialist.
Also, I come across some articles online about the swollen lymph nodes due to some infections related to the similar kind of conditions. But only thing I am concerned is why would I have slight pain (Not exactly a pain, A kind of pinching failing on the muscles) behind my ear and head when it is related to swollen lymph nodes under my jaw line. I am unable to find any kind of related answers or problems online, Just curious to know as I am concerned about it !
Please share your thoughts on this so that it would be helpful.
