<human>: I have had 5 lumps in my neck under my jaw line. They go away without medication. I am seeing 2 specialists in the near future and have Been seeing an ent but no definitive answer. The last two lumps have been painful. Cat scans havent answered the question? Of Course I am nervous it could be lymphoma. Does it sound like that to you?
<bot>: Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can very well understand your health concerns. As per your complaint lumps under the jaw can be swollen lymph nodes also known as LYMPHADENOPATHY, and it is commonly due to infections in the nearby and distant regions of the body. As the swellings are not persistent and keeps on reducing and recurring you need no to worry about Lymphoma as the cancerous lumps do not regress in size themselves. You should consult an Oral Pathologist and get evaluated for:1. Any prevailing or recurring infections on facial structures like ear, throat, nose, teeth, salivary glands, teeth and gums etc. or at times infections of distant body parts may cause secondary infection and swelling in distant lymph nodes.2. Any long-standing debilitating diseases.3. Wisdom tooth eruption or infection of the gum flap over wisdom tooth. After thorough examination and investigations the correct diagnosis and treatment can be done . In case of infections and inflammation antibiotics like Augmenting or amoxicillin and anti-inflammatory medicines like steroids can be taken. In case if there is some doubt still left Biopsy of lymph nodes can be done. Hope this information helps.
