Hello people! I am a boy of 20 years. Two days ago I noticed that I had a purulent sore on my lip - nothing striking. However, since then (hopefully not before) I have something like a ball under my jaw. I read a bit on the net and decided it was a lymph node. On the other side of my mouth I have such a ball again - but it is much smaller. I wonder if it happened to you and how such a knot falls? Thanks

I often pull the cuticles from my lips with my teeth, and sometimes I overdo it, especially from the right. And when I happened to overdo it and, for example, I pulled my foreskin, blood flowed and hurt, right under my jaw it started to hurt a little. I don't feel a swollen lymph node, but I think something like that hurts, or some kind of nerve ending. I've also noticed that when I have canker sores somewhere in my right mouth, I still have the same ... nodule, let's say. This must be the case with you too.
You go to the doctor and he will prescribe you an antibiotic. I have 2 of about a year. They did not fall off the antibiotic, but they are painless and do not grow. In that case, you should not worry. They come out as a result of an infection. They retain bacteria and are an essential part of the immune system. If it starts to grow a lot, then the relevant lymph node is removed surgically, but it should not be rushed, because it can fall on its own.
It may be a sore throat and the lymph nodes may be inflamed along it. However, there are other options - if the wound is not painful and you have had sex or kissed in the past 2-3 weeks, go to a dermatologist. I say this quite seriously and responsibly.
It is reduced by consulting a doctor, for example LL and prescribing treatment to be carried out, of course.
