Thanks for using Health care Magic.

Read your query.

In your query you have not mentioned if any of your child's in that area are decayed or does she has any history of pain/trauma in that region.
By the complaint described, it can be a abscess related to any of the tooth which will require an thorough examination by the dentist .

She may also require a dose of antibiotics .

I would advice you to visit a pedodontist and get it checked as soon as possible and get the needed treatment done.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
