What Causes Sore Lymph Node Near The Jaw With Lump On Neck Tendon?

My husband s lymph node on the underside of his jaw has been bothering him lately. Today he noticed a lump about the same size of the node on his neck tendon above is collarbone... Does this sound at all familiar for something? Its extremely sore and bothersome and both lymph node and lump are on the same side of his neck.

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. The history provided by you suggest me - the lump / lesion at the underside of the jaw - could be sailoadenitis ( salivary gland pathology - dilatation of the duct due to infection and inflammation).
2.The one below it could be the lymph nodal enlargement ( lymph nodal enlargement is seen in infection or inflammation localised / systemic, here it look like localised.
3.An ultrasound examination will help to assess the nature of the lumps its source and their extension.
4.After that if required an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology would help to know the type of cells.
5.Depending on the findings the treatment will be given.
As a home remedy do not scratch, press the lesion - it will daly healing process, maintain local hygiene. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
