Hi, I have two lumps on top of my mouth. One the size of a grain of rice just over top of my molar that you can see if I lift up my lip, and used to be a white now reddish colour. The other is a larger lump on the back side of my gums on top of the molar and is painful to touch. Sometimes when I press my tongue against this lump it sends puss out through the small lump on the other side. About a year ago this molar was filled. Since then that molar sometimes feels wiggly and is hard to chew on. What do you think is happening?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query two painful lumps on the mouth could be because of tooth infection which is resulting in abscess and pus formation which is spreading to tissue spaces and causing facial space infection and pain. I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper diagnosis and to rule out systemic causes like sinusitis and any infection related to middle ear. Take ibuprofen and acetaminophen for pain. Maintain oral hygiene by brushing and flossing. You should get RCT redone to Chat Doctor.  You should try to relax yourself. Gargle with Listerine mouth wash. Penicillin, metronidazole combination with an analgesic will be effective to subside infection if you are not allergic. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
