Are The Wisdom Teeth Causing Swelled Up Lymph Node?
I have a swollen lymph node on the left side of neck, just under my jaw. I can move it slightly with the back of my tongue. It's been this way for nearly a year now and wanted to know if I should be conserned? My wisdom teeth are impacted as well, could that be the cause?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, normally the lymphnodes are not palpable. you cant move the lymphnode with tongue. it could be a soft tissue growth or a swelling secondary to wisdom tooth infection. consult your oral physician and get a radiograph done and get the wisdom tooth removed prophylactically. i hope my answer will help you. take care
