I've noticed a small lump under my jaw that I can feel when I press in, and it's also noticeable when I put a finger in my mouth and one under my jawit can move side to side. It's rubbery, doesn't hurt, and hasn't changed in size, staying about the size of a pea. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about or if it's just normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The lump you've described, which is palpable when pressing under the jaw, movable, rubbery, and painless, is likely a benign lymph node or a salivary gland stone or cyst; however, to rule out any potential concerns, schedule an appointment with a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)

View allHey, I've been having this weird jaw pain right at the hinge, and I think it's a bit swollen, but only on the left side. I just had some dental work done on that side because of a cavity, and now it hurts to open my mouth wide. This all started last night, but for about five days before that, I'd wake up with a sore throat, a runny nose, and mucus. Strangely, during the day, I feel fine, but at night it all comes back until morning. There's also this occasional ringing noise in my left ear, like a beep, and it's around 814kHz or something. It's more obvious when I cover or muffle my ear. Any idea what's going on?

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me. Whenever I sneeze, I notice a metallic taste in my mouth, almost like blood, and it comes with dizziness, facial pain, abdominal pain, and nausea. It's pretty concerning. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

I'm having this strange issue where onions and garlic smell really bad and different to me, and it's making it pretty much impossible to eat anything that has them. It's not the usual onion or garlic scent, but something really off-putting and irritating. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I really want to figure it out and get better. Any ideas on what might be causing this, or how I can manage it?
