Swollen glands

2018-01-15 13:41:59
Hi, i have had a swollen gland under my jaw line for a few weeks, only on one side. it now feels like i have a hard lump in my throat when i try to swallow. it doesnt feel like a 'sore throat' though. my ear on this side can feel some discomfort also. if i sneeze or anything it feels like there is something in my throat that could choke me. i dont have my tonsils and inside my mouth looks ok as far as i can tell.
