Swollen nodules
Hello doc, two nodules have recently appeared in the area of my throat just under my chin. I’m quite anxious as to what those nodules could mean for my health. The nodules are pea-sized and they move around alot when i touch them. They hurt just abit too. P.s. i suspect the nodules started to form after a night out of drinks (beer) and i got a cut on my upper lip which is oozing pus now on the same night.
