A member asked:
I have a swollen, hard lump under my jaw (like right in the curve of my jaw bone in my chin). what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard lump under jaw: This could be a lymph node or salivary gland. If it came up quickly then more likely a salivary gland. A boil could be there but would be very tender. If this continues to enlarge then see your doctor.
