Do submandibular glands sit on the line of the jaw or just underneath?feel gland on jawline next to chin,not under.serious?or normal to feel glands?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Examination: Any pain, bleeding, or (as in your case) swelling requires immediate investigation. Both salivary and lymph glands occupy the area you describe. You may have partially blocked and swollen salivary gland. You may have infection causing enlarged lymph gland. Please see your Dentist for an examination.
