Lymph nodes are basically filters. They catch debris (infections) and keep them from spreading all over your body. You may have a slight infection somewhere..throat, tonsils, drainage from the nose due to allergies, etc. Normally, it is nothing to be overly concerned with unless it is an on-going problem and you do begin to show signs of an illness. But...keep in mind I am not a physician. If you are concerned the best thing to do is to go to your physician and let him ease your mind.

I just had my whole bottom mouth of implants put in this morning. They do not hurt at all. I was eating dinner and suddenly it seems they are my glands that swelled up immediately. I stopped eating and they seem to have gone down slightly. Is this something to be concerned about?

Sometimes even when you just have a little infection like a cold or even your say "I don't feel good my throat hurts" your lymph nodes swell because they catch some of the infection. I would check with your doctor just to make sure!

There are really too many things to speculate about here. You should go and see your doctor, as there is a risk of it getting worse. Swollen lymph nodes are always a sign that something is wrong. Hope this helps, good luck to you.

Lymph nodes in the neck are located under throat, slightly bellow ears on neck about two inches down, and back of neck around 1 to 2 inches from skull. You may also have some swelling in throat. This is caused by either allergies, or a cold you are fighting off. There may be other reasons such as infection. Best to have checked out by a doctor to make sure you have ruled out contagious diseases or infection

I have a swollen lymph node under my chin that the doctor in December said I was rubbing too much, it has not gone down or away. I now have two lymph nodes on the left side of my collar bone that have gotten hard, no pain, just my neck is swollen. Should I be concerned.

You should get a biopsy of this tissue to be on the safe side and relieve your mind. Of course you will probably have to deal with a small scar from the biopsy. Did the doctor rule out cat scratch disease as the cause?

Try a massage.
Tell the massage therapists where it hurts and they'll fix you up!
You'll leave the place feeling brand new.
I recommend a massage from an Asian place, they really know what they're doing.
