It sounds like a gland. You're best off popping to the GP so they can have a look (what, with me not being telepathic and all Wink) try not to panic though.

I had one of these and was quite worried, my GP reassured me it was just a swollen gland, due to some sort of mild infection, it went away again quite quickly. Best to get it checked by your GP too.

Tbh it sounds like a gland, if I search for them, I can find a few on both sides.

But, of course, if you're concerned, go see a doctor.
