Dentist 's  Response
Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
As you are mentioning that you have lump on either side of your jaws and scan showed nothing abnormal. It can be possible that these lumps are just lymph nodes which might have become enlarged.
These lymph nodes get enlarged in cases of throat or dental infections. So better to visit your dentist and ENT specialist for diagnosis and complete treatment.
Hope it will help you.
