Suggest Treatment For Jaw Pain And Low Grade Fever
Started with severe jaw pain on the left side. I have a low grade fever. My gland on the left side of my neck is about the size of a golfball and very painful to the touch. Quick Strep was negative. I went to urgent care n he put Me on amoxicillin no change after 2 days on them. 4 days total.
Hello. I have gone through your question. The gland on left side of neck is a lymphnode. They enlarge when u have some infection. I would suggest to take amoxicillin for 1 more day along with some NSAID like ibuprofen twice a day for pain. If it does not shrink consult your doctor again. Hope u got your answer. Thanks
