Well, I did like the fishing advice as that has always seemed to work in the past. HOwever, I went to the doc and he was very thorough. I actually mentioned possible salivary gland inflamation and he said that that was the first place he felt but it's far too close to my chin and it was right underneath the epidermus, not deep....(apparantely the salivary glands are farther back). According to him it is an infection and I walked away with some antibiotics and a much needed smile. Now I can go fishing after work tomorrow.......
Much appreciated advice, especially from you, fishinphysician.... Thanks
