Bilateral Swollen and Tender Submandibular Nodes
The lymph nodes just beneath the jawline are enlarged, soft, and sensitive to touch, indicating an active immune response typical of a viral cold.
Description
The practitioner uses the pads of their fingers to gently press and move over the lymphatic chains of the neck and jaw. Rooted in traditional physical diagnosis, this method assesses the body's local immune response to infection. It helps determine if the lymphatic system is actively fighting an upper respiratory pathogen.
