Hello,  I have a lump on my jawline that is hotter than the rest of my body and about the size of a large gumball.  What might this be?  I was sick with a cold last week and have been stressed this week.  I have had acne cysts in the past but this does not feel like it.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged submandibular lymph node or submandibular salivary gland infection. It can be acute or chronic siledenitis.  You should take a course of antibiotics like amoxiclav or CEA Chat Doctor.  If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
