Pain in the upper jaw is provoked by injuries, purulent processes, ganglioneuritis, some dental and otolaryngological diseases, tumors, masticatory muscle pathologies, and temporal arteritis. It can be weak, intense, constant, short-term, pressing, aching, pulling, shooting, or bursting. The cause of the symptom is established based on complaints, examination data, imaging methods, and laboratory tests. Treatment is carried out using painkillers, antibiotics, local manipulations, and surgical interventions.
Enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes (cervical lymphadenopathy) is the presence on the lateral and posterior surface of the neck of formations of lymphoid tissue larger than 5 mm, having an elastic or dense texture. The symptom is observed with viral and bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract, inflammatory processes in the oropharynx, tumor formations of the neck and head. To determine the cause of lymphadenopathy, ultrasound, puncture biopsy, lymphography, and laboratory tests are prescribed. Symptoms are relieved with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, antiseptics.
