Hi guys,

The rational side of me is sure that this is nothing, but still I have come for a bit of reassurance, since deep inside, I'm terrified.

Basically yesterday or the day before I noticed a little infection type thing on my upper gum, on top of a molar. Now even I am not crazy enough to worry about this, however, earlier today I also noticed a small grape sized very movable lump right under my jaw on the same side. It's very slippery and hard to hold onto and I can only feel it by tilting my neck forward and poking behind the jaw with my fingers. There doesn't seem to be one on the other side.

Since I know some of you have experience of feeling your lymph nodes, does this sound like one? I'm terrified that it is something else, and of course my first choice is some kind of malignant lump.

Please let me know what you think

Sylvie
