Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Cheek &jaw Bone
I have a hard lump inside my cheek around my botom jaw bone. It is usually small, but i've noticed that when i get a fever or a canker sore it swells up to the size of a pea and it becomes tender. Is this like a superficial lymph node or is it more serious?
Thanks

What you have is most likely a sub mandibular lymph node... it usually enlarges with oral infections and settles... if persistent it may be a submandibular gland in which case it will need further evaluation
