Is this bad? LOL or cause to panic?

Question

You know when you go to the doctor and they touch you right below your jawline by your ear. I touched myself there and it's really sensitive. It hurts a lot if I touch it. It's only on the left side too. The right side is fine.

Answer 1

you REALLY should go to the doctor for this. Not trying to cause panic, but when I was younger I felt the same sensitivity in that area and they said it was very important that they treated it. I got two shots in the thighs (I'm sorry to say) , but it was really important that I recieved those shots...I think it would have caused a bad infection. Please go to the doctor soon.

Sorry about this!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

its fine it happens to me too. except mine is the other way around you probably just have a head cold

Answer 3

Those are your lymph nodes, if swollen they are releasing organisms to fight a sickness or disease.  Swolllen lymph nodes under the jawline are common in mono.

Answer 4

I honestly don't know why it should hurt, but the doctors touch you there because it's a pulse point, not because they're looking for sensitivity. It might be a bruise or something, but since it's in a softer area of your head I'd go get it checked out. I'm sure it's nothing serious. Good luck!

Answer 5

It sounds like a swollen lymph node.  Are you running fever?  Have you had the mumps?  Do you have a sore tooth?  

If you are running fever or have a sore throat or ears, go to the doctor.  You may have a small infection.  These nodes swell when they are fighting infection.  Usually not anything serious.

Answer 6

it means your lymph node is swollen we have lymph nodes by our ears and just under the jaw line , we also have them under our arm pits back of our heads too. toxin build up.  may have an infection it is usually a sign that u are getting a virus like  the common cold or a viral infection hopefully it just effects your lymph nodes! sometimes that is the only symptom you can experience which is a good thing
