Dear Doctor,
I have had Recurring Cold-Sores for pretty much as long as I can remember, but I've had Health Anxiety for the past 3 months or so, causing me to check myself for lumps frequently...
Earlier I felt 3 Enlarged Lymph Nodes, They are normally located under my jaw, or inside my jaw, When I tilt my head back I can not feel them, however when I press my chin against my chest, they seem to pop out from under the jaw and I can feel them, grab a hold of them and move them around. Theres 2 on the right side, & 1 on the left side About the same position.
I also have Cold Sores since yesterday, on the right side of my upper lip...
Are these enlarged nodes most likely caused by the Cold Sores?
Here is a small picture, the text has a tiny line above it, pointing to the exact position where I seem to feel the nodes..
Kind regards,
Kraggy!
