Swelling in the Left side of the jaw
I've noticed a small swelling in left side of the jaw which was painful initially upon touch but no pain is felt now. It's been a year almost since the appearance of the swelling. Also my right side of the jaw near the angle of the mandible pains upon touch.
You seem to be having enlargement of cervical lymph nodes secondary to common infections such as throat infections, teeth caries, skin infections etc. If you do not have symptoms such as pain and significant enlargement in swelling over time then no treatment is required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
