[|AI|]  Hi, Dear,Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details put forth by you. I understood your health concerns. Cause of the health problems you queried-There are many causes of the lumps on your left of your jaw besides nerve. Hope the data in your query is confusing and needs more clarification on the exact site and location-as it could be-- pre-auricular node around the facial nerve near the Tagus of your ear, ----and / or it could be node in the left neck besides the jaw. And each of these locations would indicate-Either a lump with Lymph node due to infection post-parotitis post parotid duct stone/ or from Pleomorphic Parotid Adenoid with nodal spread, or could be Lymphoma of the lymph nodes due to NHL(pre-auricular) or HL(Neck). To rule out other causes, I would advise you to consult ER ENT and ER Surgeon, who would examine it and treat it accordingly. Still with my expertise and experience and with the given data in query, I would suggest you to rule out following causes with your ER OrthoSurgeon. Cause in your case-As the lump is opined by your ENT Surgeon as not to be intervened now, seems that he wants to observe and treat it withe antibiotics and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.
