Swollen Submental Lymph Node
Swollen lymph node underneath chin. Tender to touch. Swollen for about 4-5 days. This happens once or twice a year in same spot so nothing new and it always goes away eventually. Tired of dealing with it though. Had a head cold three weeks ago but other than that I'm healthy, 27 years old, take care of myself.

The lymph nodes swell because of throat infection. Avoid taking anything cold. Do salt water gargling. This will help you. But if the nodes are persistent then please consult a doctor.
