Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT)

What can cause a cutting feeling having swollen lymph nodes?

I've had swollen glands for a week and it's gotten worse. I hope it's not related to covid-19. I've had a bad tooth for at least a week. I have shortness of breath that has been getting worse also; I'm wondering if it's related to the swollen glands. I'm very concerned!

Please see a dentist right away. It could be related to Covid or the tooth- or both. Changes in breathing are a bad sign, and if it's Covid you want to get treatment right away. Your dentist may want a Covid test first. If it is the tooth, and it is causing breathing problems, that is equally serious. You may need to consult a physician as well.

Don't delay. We want you to be healthy and safe.
