hello, i just noticed that i have a small hard lump on my jawline, about the size of a pea. i was resting my head on my hand in the car when i felt it and noticed it kind of moved, and the other side is clear. what is this, and answer to this...im a lil worried.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Nothing to worry about. This is a small lymph node; maybe you have or had a small injury or infection in the oral cavity so that the lymph node picked up the infection. This may settle on its own as the body is the basic healing force, we just assist by giving antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines whenever is felt necessary; you may need only if the node enlarges in size or pain.
