I have had an enlarged lymph node under my right jaw for over a year
now, i have had biopsies, blood work, ct scan, x-rays, pet scan, took
antibiotics, and the doctors still dont know what it is, it does not
hurt, but i can feel it every once in a while when i swallow, and i seem
to have alot of throat problems whenever i get sick, im a healthy 26
year old male and workout 4 days a week, but the one thing that i think ,
may be an issue is that i have had a bad molar tooth right above where
the node is. im not 100% sure my tooth has been bad the whole time ive
had the swollen node, but i am starting to think this can be the
problem, the doctor told me that its a possibility it could be the
problem, but im tired of being ran around by these doctors, i went to
the dentist and he told me there was a slight posibility that the tooth
is causing this, but im afraid the dentist will tell me anything to
spend 3000 on a root canal, i do not want to get it removed with surgury
unless it absolutely neccessary, can someone please help me out on
this, i am leaving for the army at the end of june this year and am
scared they will not accept me with this problem.

It very well could be the tooth causing this. Lymph nodes help clean the blood and often swell near the site of an injury or infection.
Get the tooth fixed. Look at it this way, the army will make you get it fixed, or remove the tooth. They will likely find it during your physical.
