What causes soreness in gums with swollen lymph node?
Patient: My husband went to doctor because of fever and swollen lymph node and the doc said that it was post nasal drip and gave him amoxicillin.  My husband was also concerned about his sore gums but the doc that he had never seen said it was gingivitis.  We called out dentist and he confirmed that my husband has never had gingivitis.
