A member asked:
Under my left ear, near my jaw, is swollen, and it is very noticeable, but it is going down after about 10 minutes. is this a serious?

See PCP: Did/does this happen just as you start to eat? Anything seem to trigger it? It could be from lymph node(s) or the corner of the parotid saliva gland in this area. I suggest seeing an ENT, Oral surgeon, your dentist or your PCP to start with.
