Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint a swollen lymph node or regional lymphadenopathy can be most commonly due to infections in the areas from where the lymph nodes receives the lymphatic Chat Doctor. . Any infection in those areas can settle in the lymph nodes causing swelling in the lymph nodes. Although you have had the infected tooth removed there are chances that there is some infection in some other tooth or some problem with the wisdom tooth or any other infections like in ear, throat,gums etc. In some cases recurrent or chronic infections in other parts of the body can lead to infection in the distant lymph nodes when there is septicemia and the distant lymph nodes may show enlargement. At times the lymphadenopathy which is chronic in nature can be due to LYMPHOMA which is a tumor of lymphatic cells and requires immediate medical attention. I would suggest you to consult a physician and get evaluated and in case of infection antibiotics can help in reducing the size of the lymph node. In case of tumor lymph node biopsy has to be done followed by treatment according OT the severity of the tumor. Hope this information helps.
