Hello, I'm 17 years old and about 3 days ago I felt a lump on the side of my jawline when I woke up. It was at first sore to touch but now it doesn't hurt only if I keep on touching it because I'm terrified. I have told my parents and they say that it's fine probably a cists but I refuse to belive that. I know that you should never google your symptoms but I couldn't help it and have severe health anxiety which went away but as soon as I found this it just when back to where I started ,constant panic attacks. I Have had a lump on the back of my neck before which was really small and I had an ultrasound which they said was fine it was just a cists. My parents did say that if it doesn't go away in 2 weeks they are going to take me to the doctors. I just want to make sure I'm not dying. I know you have lymth nodes under your neck which I always try and touch but I don't know if I might have squeezed one and it's swelled or something I'm just trying to make sense of why this has happened other that cancer because right now I generally think I'm dying I'm only 17 I just want to focus on my A-levels and I just can't!!
