I have had a hard, tender lump (about 1 and a half in.) from my jaw to my throat, for 4 yrs now!
I went to an ENT 4 yrs ago who only saw something on my thyroid - that turned out to be tiny cysts on both sides. Dental xrays showed nothing. I occasionally awoke to find dried blood on my tongue & lips and a few tiny red dots on my pillow. This week I awoke to find dried blood on my tongue & lips and red blood about the size of my palm on my nightgown and some smaller spots on my pillow. My internist only thought my sinuis was a little inflamed and still doesn't think the lump is anything. I should mention it does feel more inflamed when I smoke more. Yeah, I've tried to quit! I will be going to an ENT again.
