Should I Be Worried About The Painful Lump On The Jaw Bone?
Hi. I've been feeling a small lump on the left side of my lower jaw bone for the last two days and my face is slightly swelled on the left side where the lump is found. It only hurts when I touch it though. No tooth ache at all. Is this something to worry about? And does it have to do with tooth or gum problems?
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that you got enlarged tender sub mandibular lymph node.
It indicates that you might be having some infection in your mouth like teeth, gums, tongue or buccal mucosa.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
