Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here.. Well for the past two weeks I have had a tooth ache. It seems to have calmed itself for now. It only hurts a little bit when I bit down real hard. I have also noticed that the gum is swollen and right below my jaw line beneath the swollen to is a hard bump. What is goin on?
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you have swelling in jaw and toothache this toothache can be due to carious tooth, infection in gums causing inflammation in gum, or infection in ligaments causing periodontal abscess don't be worried so such I will advise you to consult dentist and go for Examination of swelling and tooth if needed go for Iowa X-ray of tooth and if tooth is carious then go for Its treatment Restoration or Root canal treatment and if there is infection in gum then go for Scaling and root planing. In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you
