Hi Guys,
I've just been researching what they are, as I assume they are salivary glands, but can't pinpoint the exact location to get an answer.
I have a small lump, like a small raised part on the inside of my cheek. It is basically in the middle between my ear and my chin, and in line with my top row of teeth.
I have the exact same thing on the other side, almost perfectly symmetrical, so I'm sure they are supposed to be there.
However, last night I noticed that the one on the right had swollen, I could feel it with my tongue, and it has become slightly red with a greyish top to it.
I'm obviously now going through my mental check list of cancers, other illnesses etc, as a lot of us do :(
So has anyone had this before? I'm chewing on a Tyrozet at the moment to see if that reduces the swelling and stops it looking so angry!
