What Causes A Lump On Jawline While Having Cold?

I have found a small lump on my jawline, halfway from my ear to my chin. You cannot see it, but i can feel it and move it around. It is not in my gums, it is in my cheek. I also have a solid lump up near my ear on the same side, which i cannot move around. Neither are sore, but i can feel them when i press on them. I am currently suffering with a cold and have done for 2weeks now. I am unable to shake it off, and woke today with a coldsore on my nose and these small lumps. Can you help me on these?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have lump on jawline while having cold could be due to infection in upper respiratory tarct which is leading to reactive hyprerplasia of glands It could be due to enlarged nodes of ear in-front of auricle. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for biopsy of lesion as well. From the results of biopsy exact treatment can be planned. You should take course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin along with painkiller Ibuprofen as well. Give warm compressors to the area. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Gargle with saline water 3-4 times a day is recommended for you.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
