What Causes Lumps On The Jaw Line?

I had a CT scan yesterday for two lumps I found in my neck near my jawline. Obviously looking lumps and neck on the internet is horrible they all say something about cancer. My test results are :Enlarged cervical lymph nodes probably hyperplastic and reactive in nature by size. No mass lesion detected. There are mild enlarged cervical lymph nodes bilaterally most prominently involving submandibular region especially on the right measuring 1.2cm. I won t see an net until next week but in the meantime I m scared and panicked. Prior to this I have only had a bad stye infection. But other than fatigue I felt fine. I m just scared and wondering if it s possible it s cancer?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You should not worry about cancer at all. You have lumps but they are enlarged cervical lymphnodes. So no need to worry.
You just need to take a course of antibiotics.
After complete the course lump will be disappear.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
