Hi all,

Have a question and wondered if anyone could help. I have a lump under the "v" part if you will of the jaw. Had a slight ache there then i noticed the next day a lump.

Its a weird lump, as in its on my jaw bone and is like a ring shape - it extends up to the bottom of my teeth. i can tell it there when i look, but other people say they dont notice it. Nothing on the other side which is fine, no sore throat or neck pain. Nothing really. Just this lump has appeared. Only a slight pain when touched, but other than that the last 2 or 3 days have been normal other than me worrying about this.

Anyone help would be great.

Thanks

John.

p.s. i have no pain opening my mouth and chewing. I also have had a bout of gingervitus for the past 6 months.

Go see a dentist as soon as possible and if they can't help ask for areferal to the hospital. Don;t take any chances. Nothing to worry about but it is essential to seek medical advice.

All the best and keep in contact!

Thanks Ive got a doctors appointment Monday.

Noticed last night whilst cleaning my teeth the the tooth directly above the lump was really sensitive so im thinking it could be an infection of some sort.

Ill update on monday.

How did the dental appt turn out?
