    See a doctor? ;)

    It sounds like a swollen saliva gland, or a swollen lymph node. Your GP is most qualified to diagnose it for you :)

    ETA: Alternatively, you can wait a couple of days to see whether it clears up on its own.

    Definitely seconding Emma. A bit of (hopefully?) comforting anecdata: I get what sounds like the exact same thing all the time and my doc said NBD.
