Cold Sore Under Your Nose
What does it mean when your lymph nodes are swollen?
I have had swollen lymph nodes befor everytime I get a cold sore and the doctor said it was OK, but now both lymph nodes under my jaw are swollen. I have had a cold for the last day of two and that is around when they became swollen. This has never happend when I was sick befor. I just want to see if this is serious or if it happens sometimes.
By the way my cold symptomes are:
slight fever
sore throat
stuffy nose
aches and pains thrughout my body
Thanks for any advice you have.
Lymph nodes which are swollen are usually a sign of infection. Sometimes the body can fight the infection, in which you don't get sick and the lymph nodes go back to normal size. Other times you get sick, and you have to go to a doctor. Slight fever eh? Seems like you're going to need to go to a doctor anyway. Especially if the fever gets a little higher each day. This is a sign of a bacterial infection. You'll most probably need to get on some antibiotics. Some soup and orange juice wouldn't do you any harm either. You can take tylenol or ibuprofen for the fever....just follow the label directions. But I think you need to be seen by a doctor. That way you'll feel better sooner. I hope you feel better really soon, and wish you the best of luck. If you go to the doc, send me a message and tell me what's up.
