Hi, I noticed two enlarged submandibular lymph nodes 10 days ago on the right side under my chin. They were rock hard, not
really moveable, without any pain, maybe a bit sensitive to pressure. I went to the ORL, the doctor asked me about my wisdom
teeth, because she told she saw something like pus in my mouth, but couldn't be sure (food, toothpaste, ..?). She gave me
some antibiotics and sent me to see my dentist. My dentist made RTG (from the right side) and told me it's my wisdom tooth -
there's small space in my jaw and it might be inflamed. So I was sent to see a surgeon. Surgeon made another RTG (from the
front) and told me it's not because of my wisdom tooth, but he'd extract all 4 of them anyway (they're not growing perfect,
they gave me some pain before, but never for more than 2 days). Now it's been a week and those nodes shrinked a bit, but
they're still there and they're not shrinking anymore. They're about 1,5cm each. They're still kind of hard but very freely
moveable against other tissue, they seem to be connected to each other (but they've got space between them). I'm a bit
worried about lymphoma, am I overreacting? I don't feel any pain at all (teeth, gums, nodes, not even to touch), and I can't
tell how long have these nodes been enlarged. 4 days ago I also found slightly enlarged (less than 1,5cm) lymh node on the
right side of my neck.
I also got very dry lips, yeast infection, uncomfortable feeling in my stomach and sometimes I'm getting back pain - could it
be because of the antibiotics - it started about 4th day of using them? And how long can it take before those lymph nodes
"disappear" in case it's nothing?
No fever (36,2-37,0), non smoker, 23y.o. male, no family lymphoma history as far as I can tell, but I'm not 100% sure. I
gained some weight recently, no excessive night sweats. Thank you for your answer
