What could a lump be under the jaw bone?

In: Back and Neck [Edit categories]

Answer:

I suggest you visit either a doctor or the local free clinic if you have no insurance coverage. There will be an entry in the phone book for your town or a nearby town. It may be a harmless cyst (assuming the lump isn't the result of something obvious like a hammer to the jaw). A cyst is small and round, not much bigger than a large pea, and it will float around a little. But you must get medical help.
