Define Node Starr On Jawline

Hello.
A lump on my left jawline was diagnosed as a Node Starr. The doctor told me not to worry about it and to come back in a couple of months to recheck it. It has been there for months. It is not painful. Please give me a definition of Node Starr and should I worry about this lump? Thank you.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have lymphnode enlargement. It may be due to reactive hyperplasia most likely. You should take a course of antibiotics and then go for follow up after a month. If it remains persist or increase in size then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Otherwise no need to worry.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
