Hi.
If this is the condition - you should ask for ultrasonography or CT or MRI of the neck- to ascertain whether this is a lymph node, a sub-mandibular salivary gland or a muscle mass.

Diagnosis has to be done fast as you have already lost 4 weeks...
You deserve the earliest diagnosis for a proper guided treatment.
