My dog keeps reverse sneezing and has lumps on her jaw. Is it serious?

Question

My pet is still doing the reverse sneeze thing. It’s been 4/5 months. She is a terrier mix, she has “bulbs” at the bottom jawline by her throat. Is this normal? I didn’t notice before so is she allergic to something? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 11 months and 16 days old | 14 lbs

Reverse sneezing looks and sounds very aggressive but it is quite benign. The bulbs you are seeing are likely is salivary glands or lymph nodes but of course, I cannot say for sure without doing an exam of my own. For the reverse sneezing you can try Benadryl. See the link below. Since I cannot confirm that those “bulbs” are normal for her and since you don’t recall these previously, I would have your vet take a look at them. Your vet can confirm they are benign or if they are something to be concerned about. I hope this helps. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
