What Does A Lump Under The Jaw On The Right Side Indicate?
Hi I recently found a small lump under my right jaw and it feels like nothing and when I press on it it gets hard to breathe for me and I am just honestly a little confused. It's definitely not a lymph node because it has a firmer texture and it's bigger (about three times the size of a swollen lymph node)

Hello,
The lump under jaw is mostly submandibular salivary gland swelling from some sort of viral or bacterial infection. In our clinic, we recommend taking a confirmatory ultrasound examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
