Had a lump come up in the right side of my neck under my jaw bone about two weeks ago, it seems to be getting bigger and going up the side of my face it is now nearly to my cheek bone. Looking straight on it just appears that one side of my face looks slightly swollen. It is tender to touch feels like a bad bruise.
Hi.IF this swelling increases with the chewing - it may be from a salivary gland, a classical finding. The associated swelling can grow due to associated infection. It can be also due to an infected lymph node. I would advise such a patient to go for a clinical examination by an ENT Surgeon-undergo tests as suggested by him, You need an antibiotic and supportive medicine course.
