When i press a spot in my neck up under my chin/jawbone, on the right side, it hurts. when i stretch my neck, that spot also hurts. what could it be?

Gland or node: Most likely is an inflamed lymph node or an inflamed salivary gland. You could try taking some ibuprofen, but see your doctor right away if it gets worse or doesn't get better within a couple of weeks.
