Hi, I have had swollen glands since I was probably in about 2nd grade(I am now in 9th), it is not everyday any more but very often and it really hurts when I talk or eat when they are swollen. They are only in the area below my ear and above my jaw. It happens at least 2-3 times a week(usually more). I also have hypothyroidism. I am starting to get concerned now that i am older because I have never brought it up to the doctor. I had my tonsils removed when I was in 3rd grade and have great teeth(so says the dentist) I do have braces but have only had them for8 months now. Does anybody know what this could be? Please help!
