What Does Small Lump Under Jaw Indicate?
Noticed today I felt a small lump popping under my jaw on the left side wondering what it is? I recently got over a cold could it be mucus? Or inflamed tissue? It doesn t hurt it s just a nuisance but I m a singer by occupation and I don t want it to ruin my career.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You have history of infection. so you may have some reactive hyperplasia of lymphnode. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.
