Hi, I have had toothache recently. Went to the dentist and he said I had a bad abscess and a decayed tooth. After the swelling had gone down I discovered a large tough lump under the skin on the side of my nose . He carried out the treatment needed a few days ago and from what I gather drained the abscess. Although the tooth is now fine the lump is still very much present and isn t going down. Could this be nerve damage as at first touching the lump made my tooth hurt, or will this lump go down in time? Thanks :)
Hello. Thanks for posting your query. The lump arose due to the pus existing under the periapical area. I would suggest you to get the pus Chat Doctor. The infected pulp has to be completely removed from the pulp canal. If Necessary, apicectomy has to be done. Maintain good oral hygiene. Take complete course of antibiotics -analgesics. If pain sustain, apply colonel to relieve pain. Take care.
