It may be a swollen lymph node-- do you have a cold or something?
If it doesn't go away in a couple days, I'd see a doc.

It's the glands. You probably have strep throat. Don't worry, I get them all the time.

insist to your mom to take you to the doctor asap i doubt it is a tumor though ........ probably a swollen gland......but for sure go get it checked.........could also be mumps
