What Does A Lump Under The Jaw On The Right Side Indicate?
I have a lump under my right jaw line. It feels about the size of a marble. Should I use a heating pad or ice pack for the swelling? It is approx. an inch and a half on the right side of my chin along the jaw line. And now my right ear is starting to get achy. I am 54 and have never even had an ear ache.

Hello,
The most possible reason here is salivary gland swelling from a viral infection which gives an earache too. In our clinic, according to the clinical severity, I suggest proper antibiotic as of cephalosporin group and anti-inflammatory medicines to recover early. Ice application will help better against a heating pad.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
