What Does A Small Lump On Jaw Line Indicate?
Yesterday my daughter noticed a small lump almost on the jaw line or right underneath on the top of the neck (right hand side). Jaw is very sore to the touch and her cheek looks a little swollen as well. Is this some sort of infection or tooth issue or something more serious?

Hello ,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as your daughter has small lump on jaw this can be due to some reason like infection in tooth or infection in gum .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for oral examination and if needed go for investigations lopa xray of region of lump .
Inmeantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day and maintain proper oral hygiene .
Hope this will help you.
