What Causes Right Side Jawline Pain In Children?

my 4 y/o is complaining of right side pain on his jaw line. his pediatrician does not know what this could be, suggested a bone bruise and told us to wait 3 days and see if it improved. My son screamed tonight when I washed his face because he said the pain is so bad. He was just at the dentist with a normal visit. the Ped said that his throat and ears are clear. Beside the pain, he has no other symptoms, is otherwisw healthy. He has no known allergies.

Hi,
From history it seems that he might be having some infection in the mouth giving rise enlarged tender sub-mandibular lymph nodes.
There might be having some decayed or carious tooth giving this problem.
Consult dentist and get examined.
Meanwhile give him Ibuprofen or meftal for pain.
Ok and take care.
