Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Jaw Bone

I have a large lump in my right cheek that runs along the underside of my cheekbone and goes to the Temporomandibular Joint..above my rear molars/where my wisdom tooth was pulled from a few years back The lump is around 1 inch in length along the jawbone and is maybe the same width as my pinky. It can't be seem, but can be felt when pressing on my cheek in that area. There is a much smaller (almost not there at all) thing in the exact same spot on my LEFT cheek which led me to think it's a swollen gland, but everyone else that i ask don't have anything in that area. It doesn't cause any discomfort

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have swollen submandibular gland or lymphnode enlargement. It may be due to some inflammatory disease or may be some infection or rarely malignancy.
You should go for complete blood count and fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
