what would cause the glands under your jaw to hurt?

Answer 1

Sore throat, ear infection, recent piercing in ear, face, tongue.

Answer 2

Those are most likely lymph nodes and/or your tonsils (which are also part of your lymphatic system). You are probably fighting a heavy viral infection or possibly bacteria such as strep. Do you have a fever? Nasal congestion? A cough?

With Strep, there is usually a fever, no cough, and sometimes accompanied by body aches, general malaise, and just plain feeling awful.

Hope you get better quickly!
