I have a painfull lump that appeared in the bottom of my jaw this morning. The pain in in my mouth with some tenderness on my cheek. It is always there, and makes swallowing and other things that involve moving my toungue difficult. I'm also making lots of saliva which is difficult to swallow cos my tongue is swollen.
I totally intend to go to the doctors tomorrow as I think I have a fever now. Just wondered if anybody had something similar at one time, and what they had.
The things I had seen on the net are of salivary gland calculi and salivary gland tumours.

I don't have my tonsils anymore, and the underside of my tongue is all red.

You are not getting a diagnosis. I don't know where the "bottom" of your jaw is. If you mean at the joint just below the ear, swelling and pain here accompanied by excessive salivation can be caused by parotiditis (also called parotitis), an inflammation/infection of this large salivary gland and is essentially mumps. I saw calculus mentioned... another cause of pain and swelling and salivation. Benign tumors can also cause pain, swelling, etc.
Instead of freaking yourself out with possibilities, keep in mind that your problem is most likely minor and treatable.
As far as the person who so confidently told you "You don't have a tumor, just a virus", this is a diagnosis and this person has no idea what you have or don't have. This person has never examined you. No licensed health care professional will ever give an online diagnosis. Remember that.

sure, no, according to probability. Rear dew claws, if the dogs has them, are oftentimes loosely related even in an grownup dogs so are fairly easily bumped off. the front Dew claws are some thing else fullyyt. they are able to be easily bumped off whilst the dogs is a few days previous yet as quickly as you get previous the early degree the claw is attached in a fashion reminiscent of how your great toe is attached on your foot. sure, they nonetheless could be bumped off however the operation is obviously extra complicated and, of course extra costly. not all vets are comfortable with doing it is going to or not it rather is fullyyt for attractiveness purposes'.

It's probably swollen glands. You may have strep throat. It's not a big deal. Don't read things on the internet---they will have you believing you are near death.
You don't have a tumor. Just a virus. See the doc and get an antibiotic.

Hmm I was just researching something like that and I saw that it could be a cyst. Or perhaps a cancer of the throat or lock jaw or whatever......you should go to the doctor for sure because you have to just make sure it's nothing serious.

Could even be a dental abscess or an ear infection. I wouldn't go overboard and panic until you have seen your doctor who will if its dental refer you to one I'm sure
