Swollen in submandibular region

2017-03-09 14:01:58
Right under my jaw on my right side it feels like there is a mass in the submandibular region. On the left said there is something similar to it but it is not nearly as swollen. Could this be a tumor? I've had a cold so could it be swollen from the sickness. I've had no symptoms of anything and am in good health.

If it is a PAINLESS, HARD SWELLING, it most probably points to a Tumour.
Next Steps
An ultrasonographic examination of the neck should give your doctor a lot of information about the swelling.
