Question
Hello doctor,
I have a salivary gland cyst at the bottom of my jaw, about 1cm in size. A few months ago, I went to a doctor in Saigon and the doctor just touched it and said this is a salivary gland cyst, this is okay, so don't worry, but now it seems that the cyst has moved down a bit. . Besides, I often have spasms in that area and the neck area below my ears also has a strange feeling, it keeps fidgeting like that. Currently, my place is very tense with Covid 19 epidemic, so I don't dare to go to the doctor. So the doctor asked me if the salivary gland cyst under the jaw moved? I thank you doctor.
