Child Has Lump Behind Tooth, Bruising On Back Of Throat, Stuck Jaw. Any Ideas?
My daughter had some kind of lump right behind her last tooth on the lower gum. it popped within a day, left a hole where it popped.It looked like bruising on the back of her throat. She went to bed last night and when she woke up this morning her jaw was stuck. Any idea what it could be and should she seek medical attention?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It could be periodontitis (Gum abscess) better get it confirm with dentist, inflammatory process might have stiff the muscle jaw even up to the throat level ( Lymph node involvement) but it will come around with proper treatment, nothing to worry take care bye
