Swollen Glands/Jaw: Without knowing more of your condition, it is hard to say. Swollen, painless "glands" in the jaw may refer to lymph glands or salivary glands. The implication of each are very different. You should consult an ENT specialist to rule out a serious condition and get on track with a definitive solution.

Persistent glands: If the gland or glands have remained unchanged over a six month period they be adue to a previous upper respiratory infection.
