Suggest Remedies For Swollen Lymph Nodes Under The Jaw And Shortness Of Breath
Question: My lymph node area under my jaw feels swollen and I have a little bit of shortness of breath, should I go to urgent care or are there any home remedies or antibiotics I could try?
Brief Answer:
Continue with ice and Tylenol!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I have reviewed your information fully and understand your fears. There is no need to visit the ER or urgent care at this time. This is probably a viral infection and requires nothing but a pain and fever reliever such as tylenol. I recommend you continue with Tylenol and ice packs. Unless fever becomes worse or the breathing difficulties become concerning, we don't really need further aggressive medical intervention.
I suggest you report your progress to me in the next 24hours and depending on the information, we can make adjustments to address this worry and make sure all is okay.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
