Its most likley a swollen lymph node. Nothing to be concerned about. Your lymph nodes swell up and can be painful if your immune system is down. Have you recently suffered from the flu or do you have a cold? Nothing to worry about, if the swelling and pain persists, go see your docotor, you may have an infection.

Its possible that it could be a swollen lymph node. It would be swollen due to an infection in the area. I had mine swell up when my wisdom teeth got infected.

my sister had one of those it was like a tooth infection or something wierd like that well the doctor had to cut it open and all this puss came out but i dont want to scare you
good luck

All lumps in the area of the neck should be checked for possible malignancy. It is probably a benign "lump" but if it is not, early treatment is the key.

I dont know about your gland
but your jaw probly hurts because you probably got punched or hit by something

i get this a lot when i'm fighting off a cold. it hurts, but it goes away after you either GET the cold, or you fight it off. if it's bothersome, ask your dr.
