Dentist found lumps under my chin and jaw; that's way to high to be thyroid right?

My anatomy is flaky at best but under my chin and under my jaw are not close to the thyroid as I rememberOh Joy! A new investigation.....

Hi KatyMac68

From your description, I’d say they sound like swollen lymph nodes. They can happen for all sorts of reasons, sometimes even in response to something fairly mild like a bad cold. So try not to worry just yet. It’s good it’s going to be checked out. 👍

Thanks Jazzw that's what i was thinking...with chronic fatigue/me my glands are up and down regularly so it's just more 'normal' 😆🫣

Ah well onwards & upwards

my dentist just found swelling on my right side too. She said it’s probably just an infection (I have constant sinus issues) but to check with GP if it doesn’t go down. Can you feel yours??

[KatyMac68 in reply to Lynneypin]

Yes the bigger one is sort of under my chin

I think it might be connected to a long term cough I have

[Lynneypin in reply to KatyMac68]

yeah, me too. I cough with sinus issues and asthma. Constant battle.

Your thyroid glands are on the top side of your neck.

That's what I thought
