Have Hard Moving Lump On Jaw Line. Had Teeth Cleaned. Ears Hurt. Gums Inflamed. Cause?
I have a hard movable lump on my jaw line (face not neck) I had my teeth cleaned last week and they said my gums were inflamed & asked me to come back in a week to see of the swelling has gone down. I'm afraid I have an infection - and my ear hurts really bad. What causes this and is there anything I can do before my appt in 3 days to try and remedy this?
