Lymph Nodes are visible
Hello doctor, My husband has done a root canal process on his teeth almost 2 years ago. But now the lower part of the tooth is swollen, for which the doctor gave him antibiotics. But for these 2 days, the lymph node in the lower part of his left jawline is swollen.
Is it normal??

Hello
When there is infection it’s normal for the lymph nodes to get swelling
The swelling will come down with the use of antibiotics
Please use the medication prescribed and follow the instructions correctly

Hi,
Please take the antibiotics as prescribed. If the swelling does not reduce, visit the dentist again. Go back for a review after 5 days.
