Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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)

Question 2

I've been dealing with this issue where one side of my nose is always blocked because of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. My ENT says it's not a big deal and gave me decongestants, but I still get these bad headaches in my forehead, and my eye movement feels kind of restricted when it happens. I'm really curious about how these nose issues are connected to my headaches and what else I can do to make them go away. Could you help me understand this relationship a bit better and suggest some ways to get some relief?

Question 3

I'm dealing with some pretty bad swelling just below the right side of my jaw, and I'm wondering if it's because of tonsilitis. Is this something serious? The pain in my throat is terrible, and swallowing is almost unbearable right now. I've started on augmentin, reswas, and hexidime gargle on my doctor's advice. Any ideas on how long this swelling might last or if I should be more worried?
