Chewing tobacco, Lymph Nodes, help?

I'm 22 and I've only been dipping close to a year and I've recently began to get soar throats and just the right Lymph Node on my neck is swelling up. I ignored it and just stopped dipping until the soar throat went away and the Lymph Nodes went down however it's happening in closer intervals now, maybe once a week. My throat gets scratchy then my right lymph node begins to swell again. I'm quiting now, for good. It's only been a year but already it's so hard.

Is the lymph node and soar throats something I should be worried about? I don't have any health inssurance so I don't want to go see a doc about just to be turned out of the room and hear that, "You're fine, just quit now". I'm worried.

The only way to know for sure is to see a doctor.  I wouldn't wait.

Ditto!  Go see an ENT immediately.  I just lost a long time friend who was 53 6 months ago, he dipped since he was 18 years old.  He went through so much and didn't want to do a lot of what was recommended until it was almost too late, then he sought help for it.  He had a tumor in his chin, he had surgery, reconstructive surgery of the entire jaw, received chemo & radiation twice in a 2 year span, until the tumor grew back in the carotid artery and they could not get it, he faught till the end and wished he had stopped dipping a long time ago!  God Bless you and get somewhere!
