I have a lump in the middle lower jaw behind my teeth close to the chin. It is very tender to the touch. The dentist has given me Penicillin and it has helped a little but remains swollen and sore. It is hard to even eat because when I chew it irritates the bump. I am almost finished with the Penicillin and am scheduled to see the dentist Monday. The bump was larger but has shrunk. I have had a bump there for a long time but it has never been painful. Suggestions?
Hi, It seems that you might be having infection in the root of tooth giving this trouble. Continue with antibiotic. Take NSAID anti-inflammatory medicine to get recovery fast. Ok and take care.
