Do I have swollen and painful lymph nodes in my neck and jaw for two weeks?

Swollen and painful lymph nodes in the neck and jaw can be a common occurrence during and after an infection. It may take a few weeks for them to resolve on their own. It is important to avoid touching or massaging the affected area to prevent further irritation. If the swelling persists for more than 4 weeks without improvement or if other symptoms develop, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
