Swollen lump under my jaw

I’ve had the worst cold for the last week. I’ve woken up this morning and I have a swollen lump under my jaw. It is tender to the touch and I can feel it. I’m not sure if it’s part of the infection or if I need to see my GP??

Sounds like a swollen lymph nodes, can happen after a cold etc . Normally go by them self’s after 2 weeks. But get it checked if it will put your mind at rest

When I press on it I can feel it in my throat, so I’m assuming it’s this? But I’m stressing

Pop into the pharmacy maybe and ask for advice.

No harm getting it checked if it’s worrying you .
