If there is a tooth problem, then that may cause swollen lymph nodes.
The thyroid medication should be adjusted to keep TSH normal, but that may not impact the "lumps".  An ENT evaluation may be needed to sort out cause of these "lumps" but usually they are enlarged lymph nodes due to infection or other inflammation.  Neck CT or Ultrasound may be needed as well.  Keep working with your doctor to sort this out.
