Yes!. it probably means you are getting infection and it is spreading. Go to the dentist this week and get it fixed, You don't want a blood infection.

Lymph nodes are very sensible to infection and even the slightest irritation or wound any where in your body. Even a cold sore can inflame a lymph node. As long as you don't get dental care the node can stay swollen indefinitely. Swollen lymph nodes can also be the sign of an infection taking place somewhere, they are part of our immune system barriers.

DAVID,
A WELL KNOWN FACT OF HISTORY WAS THAT WHEN PEOPLE HAD A TOOTH THAT HURT THE BARBER USUALLY PULLED IT.
WHY?
PEOPLE KNEW THAT IF A TOOTH HURT THEM, IT MIGHT ALSO KILL THEM. THERE WERE NO WELL-TRAINED DENTISTS BACK THEN AND, UNLIKE MODERN TIMES, EXYRACTION WAS THE STANDARD OUTCOME.
THE LYMPH NODE IS WHERE THE INFECTION OF THIS TOOTH IS COLLECTING IN. IT'S YOUR BODY'S WAS TO CONTAIN THE INFECTION AND NOT HAVE IT RAMPAGE THROUGHOUT THE BODY.
SEE A DENTIST A.S.A.P.

The tooth is probably abcessed. I am going through the same thing right now. Get to a dentist as soon as you can and get an antibiotic.
