How Are Swollen Lymph Nodes Under The Right Jaw Medically Addressed And Treated?
Rule out tooth infection and subchronic tonsillitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Since you had oral intercourse almost 6 months ago, the negative testing rules out any sexually transmitted infections.
The enlarged lymph nodes is likely due to an underlying infection in head and neck region.
Given your history of tonsillar stones, subchronic bacterial/viral tonsillitis which can persist for longer duration and does not cause any pain, need to be considered. Throat swab analysis will aid in the diagnosis.
Another important consideration is tooth infection which may be painless for a long time before actually causing any pain. So, please follow up with your dentist and the clinic for the scheduled throat culture. If any obvious focus of infection or other issues cannot be identified, then lymph node biopsy is recommended if the lymph node enlargement persists.
Hope this answers your question
