I noticed a small lump under my jaw a few days ago. It doesn't hurt but looks strange. Could this be something serious or is surgery the only way to remove it?

Lump under jaw may be reactive node or cyst; not all need surgery but ultrasound or FNAC can confirm nature‚Äîsee ENT or surgeon for evaluation.
