Question

Having problems with swollen lympnodes under my arm an behind ear could it be caused by an abscess tooth?

Answer 1

I have that wen I drink to much caffeine like soda or coffee.but check with your dc first.

Answer 2

It is possible that your lymph nodes are swollen in an attempt to ward off infection in your body...if you have a tooth that is abscessed, you need medical attention.

Likewise, it would be a good idea to have those nodes checked out.

Good luck--get better soon!

Answer 3

If you have some pain involved, and if by chance you have a cat and have been scratched by that cat, you might have Cat Scratch Fever...yes there is such a thing and it's not just the name of a song.  I had it and had to have out patient surgery.

It's caused by the germs in their claws (from the kitty litter)  going into the blood stream.
