What Does Small, Hard Movable Lump On Side Of Jaw Indicate?
I have a small, hard moveable lump on the side of my jaw. I went to my doctor 2 months ago and she told me to just keep an eye on it. 2 months are up and it is still here. It doesn't hurt, only slightly occasionally before I eat. It doesn't make my jaw swell or anything.

HI.With the history you have provided , this looks to be a lymph node.
A simple FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology can confirm as also an ultrasonography o a CT scan is to be done if the FNAC reports shows problematic findings.
