Question
hello, it started 1-2 days ago when i noticed that i was having a lot of discomfort in my jaw and my throat was really tight and i get pain in my ears when i swallow, my neck is very swollen and also very lumpy, its hard for to me to turn my neck as it is too swollen and painful, I've tried to research about my problems but nothing has come up that i understand, so if you could help me i would be very grateful
thank you
Holly

Answer
Hi Holly,
You may be suffering from swollen lymphnodes in the neck region. There are several lymph nodes located in the neck and jaw region. You may be suffering from an infection, but the only way to find out is to visit your medical doctor. This is not something that I would recommend a chiropractor to diagnosis as it falls outside  of our scope of practice.

Best of Luck
