I haven't been feeling well for the past 2 weeks. On sunday i noticed that i had 2 firm lumps right under the jaw line close to the ear. Then yesterday i had one on the other side pretty much in the same spot. I have had a off and on sore thoart..could that be related. Today they seem to feel a little better. The first few days my neck hurt! and it felt like i had a constant headache. Anything to worry about you think? Also is that where the lymph nodes are in the neck anyways?

Yes a person has several sets of lymph nodes and glands in the areas of the neck. Some can be felt others not. Usually very normal.
