Suggest Treatment For Lower Jaw Swelling And Runny Nose

My 6 year old son has some swelling/puffiness on his left lower jaw line. Swelling is visible from the outside. He compains that his jaw hurts, he also exhibited runny nose and sneezing yesterday. The swelling has not decreased. Any ideas? Initially, should I take him to Pediatrician or Dentist?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare-magic

Swelling and puffiness in relation to jaw line is likely to be due to dental infection.
I would suggest you to consult Dental Surgeon for further management.
Take Care
