Follow up on question asked july 30. since dec. discomfort feels swollen below ear at jaw line. cspine show arthritis, ct neck w/wo contrast results no masses, basically negative. what can it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ or gland: If the swelling is more noticible after a meal and then shrinks after an hour it could be a blocked parotid gland that is in the area you mentioned. If you have pain or discomfort in the area just in front of your ear when chewing or clenching on all your teeth and if you've evere had noise like popping, clicking when chewing or if your jaw ever locked open or closed you could have a tmj.
