hi I have a large lump above my gum line just about where my cheek is.  It is on my right side.  It is very tender when I touch it but I didnt even notice it until today when I was flossing.  I have also had headaches, runny nose and my ear sometimes feels clogged but nothing is there. Please help.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The large lump over the gum line is because of the abscess or collection of pus secondary to teeth or gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500\u00a0mg and metronidazole 400\u00a0mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
