Hi
Thank you for your query with HCM,

I think you have inflammed gums with which needs an clinical examination to rule out the cause

coming to the lump it might be a periapical infection

i would suggest you to visit your periodontist till then you can use some mouthwashes for relief

Hope my answer would be helpful to your query.

Dentist Dr. Vishal Jain's  Response
Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thanks for using Healthcare magic for your query.

As much i can understand from your question, your problem appears to be very serious. It seems that you have an dental infection and that infection has spread to the gums. Infact, it has shown as an extra oral swelling.

Dear this condition is called space infection and it is a serious issue. I suggest you to visit your dentist as early as possible and get treated.

Wish you a speady recovery.

Regards,
Vishal Jain
