Lymph nodes?: You may be noting lymph nodes that are enlarged. The lymph system helps to drain the body of infections. The infection could be as simple as a common head cold. It is likely not your submandibular salivary glands that you are feeling. If the swelling is still noticeable in a week, see a doctor.

I feel large lumps on both sides of my neck, under my jaw. I'd say they are about an inch or so wide. Could those be my submandibular salivary glands? They don't really move. They are not hard, but not squishy either. They don't feel like lymphnodes?
