Swelling lymph nodes
I recently(1 month ago) have swollen lymph nodes below my jaw (sub mandibular) but it disappears by taking antibiotics but remains with small size comparatively. Now after a while I observe swelling of supratrochlear lymph nodes which is movable and not painful. What is the cause now ?

The swelling in your submandibular and supratrochlear lymph nodes could have different causes. It’s important to confirm whether the swelling you’re noticing in the submandibular area is definitely a lymph node and not submandibular salivary gland. I strongly recommend consulting a surgeon for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
