Is It Normal To Have Pain In Molar Coming Jaws?
Hi. My 13 month old has a molar coming in. It's been like that for a few weeks now. Today I checked and the lump is still there but also, on top of it, there is a big chunk of loose skin that he seems to keep moving with his tounge. Is this normal?
He seems to be in pain mostly at night.

thanks for your query, the pain and swelling could be because of the pericoronal abscess or pericoronitis because of erupting molar...nothing to worry take a course of antibiotics and analgesics, do saline gargling..if the problem persists then surgical remove the pericoronal flap....consult your oral physician for further..i hope my answer will help you.. take care..
