Noticed A Bump On Each Side Near The Jaw Line
Hello, my son is 1 yr and half and I just noticed 1 bump on each side near the jaw line and am very concerned. It is small and hard, when touched it shifts a little. Don t think t hurt him as I have been feeling them everyday now. Please advise on what this might be. I am suppose to bring him tomorrow to his doctor but I need to learn a little more about this so I can get a good night sleep considering.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that your child has small swelling on jaw line dont worry it can be due to eruption bulge , eruption cyst.
It happens sometime when there is eruption of deciduous tooth it causes swelling , or it can be due to carious tooth .
You should consult dentist and go for oral examination of your child.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
