on the right side of my neck behind my chin i had pain less than 10 days ago, there was a lump or bump, i went to the doctor and she said it was an infected lymph node [which by the way hurts a lot]. Today i had sharp pain on the same side under--not behind-- my chin and it is swollen and hurts when touch. can someone tell me what it might be, i seems unlikely to me that i am having more infections. currently i am taking the amoxcicillin, which the doctor prescribed for the first "swollen lymph node", is what i have really a swollen lymph node, and the second one as well that is under my chin. Also can this be caused by a growing wisdeom tooth, my gums on that side in the top back hurts., the left side gum is the same form as the right but it doesn't show any signs of a tooth growing. please help, in pain.

your swollen lymph nodes under your chin are sore and swollen which is a way your body reacts to an infection somewhere in your body.
And yes, it could be your wisdon teeth....it could be several things. that is why you may need to go back to the doctor, or dentist to rule out wisdon teeth problems...good luck

you need to go back to your doctor...there are so many reasons for this...some serious some not so much...make an appointment tomorrow...keep taking the antibiotic, some otc pain reliever might help as well...
