I have a lump, in the inside of my jaw. right above my lower jaw. I can move it and it hurts so bad at all times. It s about 3/4-1inch just like round ball inside my jaw. You can t see it, but it is painful and you can feel it. I went to the doctor for this about 3 months ago and they said it was a swollen saliva gland? and it would go away in like 3 days if i just ate alot of sour things, and ate hard candies and stuff. Instead, it got bigger and more tender. I noticed my gumson the inside of my mouth (for teeth #17-19) was feeling rough so i went to brush my teeth and i was pinching a little and it still wasn t gone so i checked the next morning and i have a white patch with red swelling around it that s about 1/4 inch long, and 1/6 wide. all of this hurts so bad. Please help!
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum EMA, according to the dental history provided by you, I would like to inform you that you dentist was correct when he said that the lump is due to salivary gland. You have not mentioned anything about your medical history, I assume there is none. Also, is there any Chat Doctor. I would advise you to visit an oral pathologist as a few tests might be required to rule out the cause and provide you with the treatment. Try to
