What Causes Lumps Inside The Mouth?

My mother thinks she bit the inside of her mouth, left cheek. Woke up with a bruise on the outside of her
left cheek. There is a lump she said she can feel inside on the left side. What should we do? She does take
warfarin and she is 86 years old. Why would there be a bruise?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This is most probably a small hematoma due to bite on a cheek , because your Mother is already on warfarin.
Consult your Doctor, tell him about this and warfarin. Your Mother may need her blood coagulation status checked and be kept under observation.
