Lump?: Rather that try to arrive at a diagnosis over the internet, see a dentist to determine the cause of you lump. The lump may or may not be related to the accidental injury. Don't make the assumption the two are related. Regardless you will find out what it is and what, if anything, is required to resolve your issue.

Lump: Size/duration/exact location/shape/color/firm or soft/bound down or moveable? Any pain and/or bleeding and/or swelling deserves immediate investigation. Please see your Dentist for an examination/imaging/lab tests to determine the cause of the lump, and this the appropriate cure. May or not be related to your injury.

I feel large lumps on both sides of my neck, under my jaw. I'd say they are about an inch or so wide. Could those be my submandibular salivary glands? They don't really move. They are not hard, but not squishy either. They don't feel like lymphnodes?
