Can lymph nodes be so swollen you can not swallow?
Yes. I'm currently suffering (and believe me, the key word is suffering) from a dry socket, a condition 5% of lower wisdom tooth extraction patients get as a result of the blood clot failing to form or to stay in place (in the socket of the removed tooth.) The pain goes without saying, but as an unexpected bonus, there is associated swelling of the lymph nodes on the left side of my throat which is so severe, I cannot swallow my pain medicine, or even the thick saliva that keeps gathering in my mouth. I can't take nourishment or drink water....I'll be going back to the oral surgeon on Monday to see if there's a treatment that will help me. After all, it doesn't take a genius to realize that without food and drink, you die. At any rate, YES, your lymph nodes can swell enough to prevent swallowing.

Are they swollen lymph nodes or bone under ear and behind jaw bone?
More info - Hi, I can't get an answer anywhere... so, you know how there are lymph nodes under the ear and behind the jaw; like where there are muscles? Okay, so I've had swollen lymph nodes there before and I got them about a month ago again. At the time they were painful and swollen. Now, I think they just stayed swollen. But they are hard as bone. So is there bone there that I could be feeling? Or are they actual hard, swollen lymph nodes? The right one is a little lower than the left side. They're below the mastoid process. I believe it's in the cervical lymph node region. Any thoughts?
