Because I have lumps on mine... one at the end of my jawline by my ear...and one each side under my jaw in the middle (if that makes sense)

They are small lumps and are tender...like swollen glands????

They are not on my neck though...right under my jaw.
Anyone know if it could be swollen glands????

Yeah you do have glands there as well so probably swollen glands.

Yes, you do have glands in the corner under your jawline. Have you recently had a virus - eg cold, cough? They often swell up - a sign your body is fighting the infection
The other possibility is an infected saliva gland inside your mouth, but that is apparently agonising.

oh phew...thanks...I was getting a bit worried!

I have one of those underlying..about to come out colds/flu I think....

Headache and sore throat beginning to come too

I just didn't know you had glands on your jaw...they are really tender!

OK, I am an expert on this - the more you prod them to see if they are still tender ludaloo, the worse they will feel
Hope you feel better soon

Mine swell loads whenever I'm fighting something off. I had glandular fever in my early 20's and they got so big one side of my face was higher than the other. Mine also feel sore if I have a mouth ulcer.

Do you feel poorly? Hope you're ok.

DingdongMegaLegsonhigh · 29/11/2006 11:08

Just seen that you ARE feeling rough. Poor you. Try some echinacea and take some extra vits if you can.

Megalegs I had glandular fever when I was 17 hence I now know where all the glands in my body are as they all swelled up, horrible isn't it.

ludaloo · 29/11/2006 11:09

Thank you Marina and dingdong....

I'll stop poking!!!!!

I just feel a bit hazy at the moment...sore throat on the way though I think

(just hope the small ones don't catch it..if they do..they get better by christmas!)
