Hi I have a painful pea size lump inside my mouth on the right hand side of my lower lip . I can move it around with my tongue . It does hurt and is making the whole area ache. There are a few other lumps in the same area and on the other side but this one seems to be swollen and is the most prominent. You can see it clearly when i pull back my lip. Any ideas? Many thanks kerrie
Painful lump can be because of either due to gingival abscess due to accumulation of bacterial plague and calculus deep into gum pockets of front teeth , it can be due to periodontal abscess from the infected tooth, it can be apthous ulceration , or block of salivary gland vesicle .
I suggest you to get a complete clinical examination of the tooth by the Dentist.
Take an OPG x-ray .
Drainage of the abscess will be the treatment.
At home maintain a good oral hygiene.
Use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Take vitamin suplements .
Please take vitamin supplements and nutritious food.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Topical steroids can be applied.
hope this helps.
