There are so many possibilities, so you should definitely see a dentist first, and possibly a doctor.  One possibility is what's known as a sialolith- this is a hard calcification that builds up from saliva flowing through the submandibular gland.  Generally people who have this experience pain when eating (really, it's when you salivate a lot- i.e. when you're eating).  Treatment for this condition is excision (removal) by an oral surgeon.  Your dentist, oral pathologist or oral surgeon will be able to diagnose this and set you up with either a referral or appointment.  You should however get this checked out as soon as possible to rule out any sort of malignancy (although this would be a very atypical presentation of a malignant pathology)

Sounds like you have a virus if its just been recently.  If this occurs often maybe even food poisoning or something you are eating.  You should see a doc if it has occured often

could be just a cyst, but go to doc and have it checked just to be on safe side

This doesnt sound good!!! I'd definately see a doctor, but you do have sebacious (oil) glands that can become blocked & the oil accumulates as pus & looks like a white-head.

the white spots are pus.  you probably have tonsilitis even if you don't feel any pain when swallowing (due to swelling).  best to see a doctor and get a prescription for antibiotics.

sounds like a simple cyst which are usually benign. \nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/stb117162.asp?navbar=hw84774

All lumps are not cancer. That might even be a small hydrocoele(fluid in your ball-due to trauma) Sometimes even a lipoma or sebaceous cyst may be there Dont worry about the terms though tey may appear terrifyng they are benign.Go to your surgeon . They would let you know

It's a cyst , my ex-husband has one as well.\nI bet the white stuff smells bad too. He can see a Dr. and they can remove it completely.

Could possibly be blocked salivary glands.

It sounds like a ganglion cyst.  Check out this site and see if this is what it looks like.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganglion_cyst

It could be number of things including as the previous respondant answered a swollen gland. You shuold see a physician ASAP. It may not be serious but only an MD or other health care provider can determine.

Oh jeez, you need to go to a doctor right away and get a real diagnosis.  We're all just guessing and you wouldn't want something to be misdiagnosed on a dumb website, would you? It could be anything from thyroid problems to swollen glands or something worse. Don't take any chances.  Please go see your family doctor right away.  LOL :o)

It is saliva, you may have a loose or "perturbed" gland.  It sounds like it's getting out of control.  And being a dentist, I have seen this many times! It can get worse if you don't see your doctor OR dentist ASAP.  Please, please go do this!
