My partner has a swollen gland/lump  just under jaw on left side. His nose and left side of face is swollen and has got more noticeable in the last few hours. His eye lid is swollen too, and i think its a little more purpley colour.What could this be?
Hello! Thank you for the query. It sounds like salivary gland inflammation. It may be caused by a stone in salivary ducts for example. Especially if he has also pained while swallowing. Tooth inflammation is also possible. For sure, he needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. Please note that any infection in the face area can spread to the brain. That is why immediate treatment is advisable. Please consult your doctor as soon as possible. Hope this will help. Regards.
