A doctor can prescribe an antibiotic if the lymph node gland gets very large or painful. Under normal conditions, no care is needed because they take care of themselves. You have 8 that I can think of. Two on the sides of your neck, one under each armpit, one near the inside of each arm at the elbow and one on each leg near the femur / pelvis joint. Lymph nodes collect poisions or harmful bacteria laden white blood cells and allow them to pass into the body at a rate that the body can deal with them.
Lymph nodes do not have a "pump" like the circulatory system so they mainly rely upon bodily movement. As long as you are an active person you are circulating lymphatic fluid and cleansing your body of infection. More sedentary individuals do not facilitate lymph flow and thus are sick more often than their active counterparts. Also, drink water!
Your lymph nodes usally swell due to your body trying to fight some type of infection. If you're not sick or don't have a sore throat; you may want to go see a doctor. Sometimes people think that their nodes are swelled, when really it is just a bump under the skin caused while brushing or combing their hair... :)
Your doctor will treat the cause of the swelling. If you have an infection, you may need to take an antibiotic or an antiviral medication. If your doctor is not sure what is causing the problem, you may need to have the swollen node biopsied. To perform this procedure, your doctor will insert a needle in the lymph node, remove a sample of tissue or fluid, and send the sample to a laboratory.
Swollen lymph nodes can reflect a number of conditions. If it were as a result of a viral infection such as influenza, a series of antibiotics may be in order. Conditions such as mononucleosis may require other treatments, including, but not limited to steroidal medications. If the lymph nodes have been swollen for an extended period of time, it is advisable that you seek medical advice from a local health care provider as it may be a symptom of a far more serious condition.
You can relieve painful and swollen lymph nodes by treating the cause of the infection. In some cases you will need an antibiotic medication. Check with your doctor to find the cause of the pain and swelling.
This is just a skin infection and can be removed by using any anti-biotic medicines but you should use good soap that can help you to get rid of this lump on your jaw.
Eating proper foods and taking vitamins.
