its normal to hve tender n palpable lymph nodes whn there is an ongoing infection in ur mouth. visit ur dentist to get relieve frm the abcess. a treatment plan cannot b suggested without knowing ur condition. therefore, seek the advice of ur dentist.

wow..I feel so sorry for you...this happened to me too...i didnt have the swollen glands though. I hope you are on antibiotics. This swollen gland you feel is the infection. You need to get antibiotics quick...yes..they can be dangerous..I get so scared myself..you should be ok though ..just take the meds...

No it's not normal, if you also have a swollen gland, the infecton could be spreading. Have that checked out ASAP
