<s>[INST] Just want to find out if submandibular lymph nodes dangerous to operate.they didn t see any cancer but they said it was caused by dental infection.how soon are you suppose to have it removed.asking because am still raising the money for the op.thank you [/INST] Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.If there isn't malignancy then it should be removed at all. But if there is persistant enlargement it may indicate some more serious infection. However there is no need to hurry with surgery and nothing can happen if you wait for several months. Wish you good health.Regards </s>
