Had an incidental submandibular lymph node 1.5 cm (nodule) found under left jaw - after ultrasound doctor says it’s palpable though. I originally saw ENT for a boil on right mandible rear section as it wasn’t clearing we believe this was where the novacaine was injected and like a leaky roof bacteria went back there ( I am going through dental implant surgery - some implants didn’t take and therefore removed and more bone put in - therefore ultrasound - but it didn’t even show up - dentist prescribed levoquin week later for 10 days and it’s doing fine now cleared almost gone. Can all this dental work cause the enlarged lymph node? - radiologist report says he is not sure if in fact it is just an enlarged lymph node therefore going for biopsy in two weeks.
