Could A Lump In Cheek Be A Swollen Gland?

I have been to a doctor about a lump in my throat and the doctor says it's a swollen gland and nothing to worry about.. I have now found the same kind of lump in my cheek and also the one in my throat remains do you think the one in my cheek could also be a swollen gland?

Hi.
This looks to be a bit confusing picture .
There are no similar lumps in the throat and cheek.
There are no lymph nodes in the cheek and the swelling can be due to an abscess or so. Get yourself re-examined or take another opinion.
I find this answer helpful
