hi, about 6 month ago i got a small pea
size lump under the middle of my jaw on
the right hand side,
at first this lump didnt bother me but
then it started to become really painful,
since then this pain has gone away for
small periods and then come back again
even worse,
now about 4 weeks ago the painkillers
started having no effect at all and the
small lump has now progressed to cover
most of the underside of my right jaw, up
behind my ear and completely down the
right side of my windpipe, but only on the
right hand side, it has not spread over to
the left side at all, it is swollen and
hurting really badly to the point where it
is difficult to eat and also very
difficult to drink liquids, sometimes my
throat feels like it is closing in and it
gets really hard to breath,
i hate doctors so wanted to get an ppinion
first,
the swelling under my jaw and behind my
ear isnt clearly visible you can see it
but it doesnt look to bad, however it
feels really swollen compared to my other
side, this has als spread down to
inbetween my collar bones and just above
them,
please any info would be greatful

I would suggest you seek the advice of a
doctor on this matter. No one on the
internet can diagnose you.
Good luck!

DEFINITELY see a doctor! Could be swollen
lymph nodes or swollen salivary glands.
But see a doctor; I know you hate 'em but
they are the ones with the answers you
need on this. And let us know!
