What Could Be The Little Ball Which Moves Around Jaw?
I have this little ball that moves around if touched on my right jaw, what could this be? It s been there for about a year now, and it is not on the other side. Around that area has started to hurt at the touch, but not that bad. But when I touch the ball it doesn t hurt at all. What is this??

It may be an inflammed lymph node.
There may various causes of inflammed lymph nodes ranging from infections, allergies to malignancies.
If the swelling increases in size or there are raised symptoms u may need a biopsy.
Take care
