What Causes Three Lumps Along The Right Jaw Line In The Cheek?
My daughter developed what I can only describe as three small lumps near each other along her right jaw line in her cheek. They have developed/gotten larger rather quickly as she has only had them for a week. They are slightly painful and her cheek looks bruised. She is thin and the bruising could just be a product of the pressure they are causing. She does not remember being hit in the area. Any ideas what this could be and how to treat? I. Plan on taking her to the doctor as soon as we can get an appointment.
