Hi,DEAR,Good Evening,Thanks for the query.
Bump cause on your rt.neck-
is due to the Siale-lithiasis obstructing the Sublingual Salivary Gland below yoru jawline on rt side.
The eating reflex stimulates salivery secretions in your sub-lingual Salivary Gland on your rt side, but due to the ductal blocage by Siale-lithiasis-i.e.ductal stone- it gets pent up and gland swells and gradually get discharged due to partial obstructing duct of salivary gland.
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with your doctor.
Wellcome for any further query in this regard.
Wishing you good health.
Good Night.
