Developed Flu Symptoms. Have Lump Underneath Jaw And Swollen Gums. What Could This Be?
Question: I develop flu like symptoms two days ago now i have a lump underneath my jawline and am starting to develop swollen gums, what could this be?
Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX
In viral infection, there do occur gum swelling.
Some other risk factors where gum swelling is a manifestation are
1.Tobacco use
2.Chemotherapy
3.Fungal infection
4.Sensitivity to toothpaste or mouthwash
5.Drug side effect
6.Malnutrition, particularly Vitamin C deficiency.
Hope it's clear
Regards
