Folks,
I have a couple bumps under my jaw, to the slight left and right. I think they're swollen lymph nodes, but they've been tender and seem very hard, like two rather large pebbles under my skin. The left seems more pronounced that the right.
Is this anything to worry about?

I had one under my left jaw. If I put my hand under my jaw, I could feel it roll around. The ENT I went to followed it for a while, but it didn't get bigger. He also made sure none of the other lymph nodes were swollen. He said that due to its location it was too risky to remove.
Come to think of it, I was supposed to follow up on that, but it hasn't rolled under my hand for a while so I forgot.
If it's worrying you, I'd have someone look at it.
