Swollen glands affecting breathing

2017-12-18 04:24:18
Hi, for the past 5 weeks or so i have noticed the glands under my jaw have swollen quite a bit and my throat in general has felt tight. Im not having trouble breathing but it feels weird. I vape and smoke marijuana but have switched to vaping concentrates only.

Swelling under the jaw might be due enlarged lymph nodes or submandibular salivary gland.. need to be evaluated by local examination.. visit an ENT specialist for opinion.
