Hello,
Thank you for the post on HCM.
I have gone through your history as you are having lump under your right ear lobe and it was confirmed as swollen salivary gland.
The salivary gland which is present there is Parotid gland. It may be infection of parotid gland. I would have advised
Antibiotics may be used to treat infection
A fine needle aspiration may be used to drain an abscess.
Thank you.
