What Causes Swollen Left Jaw With Normal X-ray, CT And MRI?
I have had a swollen left jaw (feels like a lump when I push my jaw out) for over two months with NO pain. I have seen a lot of doctors had tests (xray/CT/MRI) but everything was normal. I went to the ENT today and all they said is it is probably a swollen jar muscle due to an infection (even though I was not sick when this started). I asked them if it would go away and all they said was it may or it may not. Feeling very frustrated. I just want to know what it is/ why/ how can I get it to go away. Should I just ignore it now and hope it will go away?

Hi
Keeping in mind the various report which suggests nothing wrong with you, but you are suffering. My advice would be do chewing excercises, take trypsin chymotrypsin tablet to reduce swelling, mouth wash.
Relax and take care do come back after 2 week time with pictures of lump.
