Is it possible to be able to feel your salivary gland?

I've been a bit worried that I could have swollen nodes, as I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and am fixated on the HIV thing right now. No other nodes in my body seem swollen, and even under my jaw the ones i can feel, feel like tiny little balls. But then there is a mass towards the back of my jaw, in front of my neck muscle. Right up behind the jaw bone that feels like an oval shaped thing. Maybe like a date or an olive...not as big as a date though. So I'm thinking could this be my salivary gland? Can you feel those in your neck? I've never had swollen nodes before and this doesn't feel like a ball/lump and you certainly cant see it from looking. I'm a bit paranoid and am worried I could have swollen nodes from hiv infection. I've not been involved in any overly high risk activities, but still...mind is a powerful thing.

I think you should see an ear, nose, throat specialist because it may be your thyroid gland if it's in the neck! I would ask the specialist to have an ultrasound of your neck done! Good luck!!
