What Causes Feeling Like Swelling In Jaw And Under Ear Whenever Eat?
I have just noticed if I eat the left side of my jaw and under my ear keeps going swollen and hard, doesn t bother me to speak but swallowing is very strange. Its not particularly painful but feels like its very swollen, feels like how I would imagine mumps would be?
