Hi,
The ongoing lump on the bottom of your son's jaw may be an inflammatory lymph node
primary cause may be from scalp to chin on the same side. sometimes primary cause could not be found. Basic Investigation, X-Ray chest, Dentist or dermatologist opinion is needed
The pea like movable ?lump inside elbow should be seen by the doctor to find out the cause.
Because it varies according to source - Sub-Cutaneous or deeper plane
