Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a couple red itchy bumps on my lower back, swollen lymph nodes, my throat isn t sore but on one side it feels as if I m sick. I have had a problem with my jaw for the last 4 weeks, I had an xray for TMD but everything showed fine. The pain feels as if it s more inside my gums then my jaw. I can t open my mouth as far as usual. Not sure??
Swollen lymph nodes and sore throat suggest throat infection which has led to swelling of lymph nodes. I suggest you to consult your primary health care provider for clinical assessment and prescription of antibiotics.
Inability to open mouth suggests a problem in the temporal - mandibular joint.I suggest you to consult an oral maxillofacial surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri,
Pathologist and Microbiologist.
