Noticed Soreness Of Jaw And Swollen Area Beneath The Jaw
I have had a sore jaw for two days with difficulty chewing and now have a swollen area just beneath my jaw that is very tender and feels hot to the touch. It feels like a swollen gland but I have no cold or flu or problems with my teeth at present. What if any glands lay just beneath one's jaw?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
I read your query, the pain and soreness in jaw must be due to swollen and infected salivary gland. You should get your OPG xray done and visit your dentist meanwhile you can start with antibiotics and painkiller dose coverage for 5 days.
Amoxyclav 1BD, flexon AA 1 OD along with becasule Z 1 OD FOR 5 days.
Thanknyou
