Glands under my jaw

2019-05-12 04:38:26
Hi doc, When i press my tongue against the upper part of my mouth, i feel that some gland under my right jaw(other than the lymph node), is lil bigger in size than the one on left. It has almost been 3years, since ive noticed it. I dont think it has grown any bigger, and it is not painful at all. What are the possibilities of it being a major concern?
