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.

I've had abnormally large tonsils for a while and tonsil stones before, so I know what those are like. But now I've found this hard white lump deep beneath the skin, and it seems like it's gotten a bit bigger over the past month. I'm just wondering what this could be and if it's something I should be concerned about?
