Best Answer

Young children often develop swollen lymph nodes in this area following a bad viral infection or ear infection on the same side as the lump. Lymph glands filter out "poisons" from infections by actually growing bigger in order to deal with the infective processes involved and often never completely go away after the causitive condition has resolved (I have a small firm lymph gland from when I was a child and had a really bad viral infection; I am 66 years old now) ... If there are swollen glands under the jaw and other areas in addition to the lump you describe, next time you see the pediatrician be sure and have him check this out. There are some no-so-innocent causes of widespread lymph gland swelling...
