Submaxillary ducks: You may be describing the openings of the submaxillary duck. These are major saliva glands which help you in the digestion of your food. This area could become sore for several reasons one simple reason might be some mild inflammation ,which you can probably resolve was gargling with some salt water. If it continues to bother you I suggest you see your family doctor.
