A member asked:

1 gland under the jaw only on one side swells and hurts to touch every so often should i worry ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sialoadenitias: Swelling of the glands under the jaw may indicate infection of the Submandibular Gland and blockage of the salivary gland. Moist heat and antibiotics are likely treatments.

The bottom of my left jaw is bigger than the other and it bulges out causing my face to look unsymmetrical. Is this an issue with my wisdom teeth or salivary glands? Or could it be because I chew on one side more than the other?
