Hello there,
Welcome to the forum,
I would like you to provide some details about this lump:
- Since how long you are having the lump? Can you mention the approximate size of the lump?
- Is it painful while chewing, wide opening of mouth? Do you have raised temperature over the
area?
-Do you have recent throat infection or any problems with your teeth in the past?
- Were you on a antibiotics course for a long time?
-For how long did you chew tobacco? Have you quit it - if yes, how long ago.
If feasible please post a good quality picture of the affected region. I can be able to understand this lump better by looking at the pictures of it. You can use the site's uploader available on this page to upload the pictures.
Awaiting your reply...
