I have a small hard round lump on the left side of my face, it is approx 1-2 cm. It is located on the parotid gland, 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of my jawbone and about 1/2 inch from my ear. The entire gland isn t swollen, but I can feel a cyst like structure under skin. It does not hurt nor is it causing swallowing difficulties. Other symptoms started 24 hrs prior, a stuffy nose and minor cough.
