Lump in jaw

2018-05-11 01:46:47
I have been having pain the the left side of my face on my jaw. I found a lump that is getting larger over the last 5 weeks. It has swelled my ear canal and my sinuses. I have a similar lump on the other side and think it may be a saliva gland however the left is 3x as big and hard like a rock. Position wise it’s right below where the wisdom tooth was but in the cheek/muscle part instead. It is causing me constant pain and headaches. I am 25. What could this be?!
