Submandibular lymphnodes mildly enlarged bilaterally on left side of neck? what does this mean? causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reactive LN?: It is not unusual for a person to have occasional reactive lymph nodes that enlarge in response to infections and inflammation. Nodes in that area can react to dental or oral problems. Piercings that are removed often or irritated can cause this. It could also be a deep cyst, an enlarged salivary gland, and other things. You should get it checked.

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?
