Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have either salivary gland enlargement due to siledenitis. Or lymphnode enlargement due to reactive hyperplasia or some cancer pathology. So it can not be said definitely. You should go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
