What Does A Lump On Upper Gums Indicate?
my seven year old son has a rather large lump on one side of his upper gums, and a smaller one on the other side..he says they do not hurt him, but they look red and aggrivated. he also says he has had these for at least two months (this is the first i have heard of them)

Hi dear,i understand your concern. You should be worried,but not too much. It usually happens due Streptococcus,Staphylococcus iinfection. It can be boils(furuncles), apply 2% Chloramphenicol twice a day for 5 days and iodine(betadin).
