I have a small hard round lump on the left side of my face, it is approx 1-2 cm. It is located on the parotid gland, 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of my jawbone and about 1/2 inch from my ear. The entire gland isn t swollen, but I can feel a cyst like structure under skin. It does not hurt nor is it causing swallowing difficulties. Other symptoms started 24 hrs prior, a stuffy nose and minor cough.
Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor. That can be a retention cyst or an adenoid. Show it to a surgeon for a physical examination and a needle biopsy, if he feels so. Further management will depend upon the report. I don't think your stuffy nose and cough are related to it.
