Small bump between upper and lower jaw, pain on touching, cold. Causes and treatment?Hello. Well, I have been having pain in the area where my upper and lower jaw meet. I believe it is called the retromolar trigone. I can see a small bump that feels soft and hurts when touched. It is also really painful to open or close my mouth or to chew. I have had a cold for the past four days but this bump is just very painful and difficult to manage. Do you have any idea what it might be or how to go about fixing it?
Hello, From the symptoms that you have mentioned, I think your wisdom tooth is on the way of eruption...and if your upper wisdom tooth is erupted already, it may hurt the lower soft tissue covering your lower wisdom tooth.... That has resulted inflammation and subsequent abscess formation.which you feel as a bump.... Keep that area clean after every meal...and take warm saline rinses... Visit Dentist and proper x-ray or OPG is required.and on the basis of that your treatment will be decided...Don't chew any hard, hot, spicy food with that side..... Get well soon... Take care....
