Back in April, I had a swollen lymph node in my jaw and collarbone that swelled up due to a infection with my wisdom tooth. I of course FREAKED out. Took antibiotics and it eventually went away.
Well the other day, I got a canker sore on my lower gums and the lymph nodes in my jaw swelled up. Being the type of person I am, I thought "hmm wonder if my collarbone lymph node is swollen." Sure enough it is. Not as big as it was in April, but definitely still there. A logical, rational person would think it's the canker sore causing it. But the irrational part of me is thinking, WHY would that cause my collarbone lymph node to swell when it's suppose to drain from below the collarbone. So here I am worrying (not to the degree that I was in April) about it and constantly checking to see if it goes down. I just want to leave it alone but GAH it's so hard not to. I feel like the more days it is here (it's been 4 since I've noticed), the more anxious I get cause I think why hasn't it went away yet.
