You are so going to die.  Sorry.\n\nNot yet?  Oh.  Maybe it's just an infection.

IANAD, but according to the Mayo Clinic's site:\n\n"Pain here [in the lower left abdomen] most often suggests a problem in the lower colon, where food waste is expelled. Possible causes include inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in the colon known as diverticulitis."\n\nBut here's hoping it's something more minor than that =)

If it's your left side it could be a stomach ulcer. Alcohol is well-known to aggravate an ulcer.  Do you get this pain when you eat really acidic foods (like orange juice or tomato sauce) or spicy foods?  And if it hurts, does taking an antacid or drinking milk help to ease the pain?

I would go to the ER. I'm not sure where you are, but if you are in the States, you might try going to a minor emergency center. They are often open 24 hours, or at least on weekends. \nSounds like classic tonsilitis to me. If it is interfering with your ability to eat and drink then you should see a doctor as soon as you can. Try taking some ibuprofen or tylenol (paracetemol) to make yourself a little more comfortable.

Lymphatic drainage does not cross the midline, so look for something else.  I think you have identified one possible cause in your recent wisdom tooth extraction, as the lymph nodes take a while to return to normal, but do not rule out the possibility that another tooth is starting to go bad...\n~

Hello,\nFirst of all don't worry about all those comments. I don't think it is a lymph node as they are deep and will not cause obvious swelling. The most likely cause is an infection of the sweat glands, Hidradenitis suppurativa is an annoying chronic condition characterised by swollen, painful, inflamed lesions in the armpits(also affects other areas) which affects 1-2% of the population.\nYou may need antibiotics but you need to see a doctor just to make sure it is not something else. \nGood luck

it could be ulcerated or even injured from something you ate. if the symptoms remain after a few more days i would advise contacting your dentist and having him look at the area.

Actually, the lower jaw is the most common place for oral cancer, in particular the lateral border of the tonge or under the tongue. White bumps could be a lot of things but most likely not a cancer. It could possibly be a pre-cancer (oral leukoplakia), a candidiasis (yeast), an ulceration from a burn, dermoid cysts, or a lot of other things. See your dentist so he can take a look at it.

enlarged lymph nodes in neck are sign of infection. it may be due to medical or dental reasons. if you are feeling dental pain associated with any tooth, it's better to consult a dentist. he will prescribe some antibiotics to clear off infection and treat the underlying cause i.e tooth \nif there is no associated dental problem you can consult a physician who will rule out any orofacial infection.\n\nbut it's better to get it treated soon otherwise the infection may spread to other organs as lymphatic drainage is quite extensive in our body and it tends to supply all over the body so the infection may spread.

It is probably a swollen lymph node if it is under the angle of the mandile (corner of the jaw, and in front of the sternoclediomastoid muscle (the one from the bottom of the back of the ear (the mastoid bone) that goes down to the middile of the sternum (breastbone) at the notch. Check to see if when you crane your neck forward the lump is just in front of the muscle that becomes prominent as you push your head forward - if so it increases the likelihood it is a harmless lymph node swelling - not all lymph node enlargements are harmless though (and it will need to be seen by a physician). Harmless causes include reactive lymph node from tonisllitis, viral pharyiogitis, cystic acne chanegs, tooth infections and more.\n\nOther masses in the neck include thyroid masses (cysts and tumors) salivary masses (inferior parotid gland or submandibular gland, epidermal inclusion cysts and more.\n\nI think the biggest reason to see a docotr is to make sure an alien spider did not lay eggs under your skin in that area while you were sleeping last night. (just kidding)\n\nGood luck. Go see the doctor, but don't loose sleep over this - it is probably harmless.

a swollen lymph node feels like a lump.  I don't know if there are lymph nodes behind your knees, but if there are, you can compare the suspect knee with your other knee.  That technique works well for throats, armpits, etc, too.

The left side worries me. It could be the medication. If it persists then go to urgent care.

As a medical student this is what I can think it may be:\n\n1) Have ur lymph nodes checked out.  There may be fluid in them.\n\n2) Check ur tonsils, maybe tonsilitis.... Do research on the palatine tonsils..(the 2 humps on the side of your mouth near the uvula)\n\n3) Get a baterial culture, like a strep test.  For all you know all you need is some good old penicillin.\n\n4) Do you have a fever?  IF so definitely get a strep test, and get blood work done to check for mono.\n\n5) Try and do salt + water gargles.  Salt is a good anticeptic.  Also mouthwash regualarly, it'll help to kill some bacteria.\n\nHope you feel better.... Again I'm only a medical student and not a doctor.  Sry, if my spelling is horrible... was never good at it.
