Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes

I just got my new upper and lower partial dentures from my dentist today. About an hour after I put them in I noticed that the lymph nodes in my neck are swollen to the size of golf balls. I m not sure if they were swollen before, but I m not sick.

hello

It is unlikely that the lymph nodes will swell so fast or due to dentures , please meet your dentist , the dentures may be blocking the salivary gland ducts , leading to swellig in the neck.The dentures may need some adjustment.Dont worry , you will be fine!
Take care
