Under my right jaw it's not gotten any bigger I also have bad allergies and sinuses also white dots near my taste buds for 8 months
Brief Answer:
?? Infection/inflammation of salivary glands
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
Swellings under the jaw could be related to inflammation or infection of the salivary glands, but this will have to be confirmed with an ultrasound investigation of the region or an invasive procedure called a needle-core biopsy which will confirm/rule out cancer sir.
Your other symptoms could also be in accordance with an infection, which is why an elaborate evaluation and physical examination will be mandatory, for which I would strongly recommend an ENT specialist.
I hope you can find time to consult an ENT specialist who is able to rapidly diagnose and treat you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
