HI.This looks to be a classical case of an impacted stone in the duct of the right submandibular salivary gland duct.
This can be confirmed by manuaal palpation where a Surgeon can feel the stone . If in double you can get a diagnosis by CT scan and sialography.
Get a proper diagnosis . IF this is a stone - the removal is an easy procedure.
