Swelling on submandibular

2017-11-10 09:06:00
There's recurring swelling on submandibular on left underneath jaw. As swelling grows it feels too hard/stiff and also starts hurting. After taking antibiotics swelling comes down but not completely and again comes after a month or so, especially after eating non veg food.
