Hey Bubbles,
Couple of things.....
Is it pea sized, bigger, or smaller?
How's your saliva? All flowing normally?
Have you got/had a cold, or can you feel one coming on?

Heya,
I'm still alive, so it's a start. Lol
So, from the size it doesn't sound like a lymph node or a salivary gland.
If it's been around more than a week, you should probably get it checked out. However I've no idea if it's a Dr or a Dentist that you need to see about it. I think I'd prob go to the GP myself, and let them tell me if I need a dentist or not.
One of those better safe than sorry moments.

Hi Bubbles!
Ive had some jaw issues just on one side too. Mine is sore to touch though.
Went to doctor who told me to go to dentist who told me there is no dental issue....helpful I know!
I think I’m going to mention it when I’m seeing the nuclear medicine consultant tomorrow so will let you know what response I get!
