Hello. I am a 15 year old male, and I had three of my teeth removed yesterday morning. At one of the extraction sites, there is loose skin. It keeps getting in the way of my tongue.I rinsed my mouth yesterday night, and some pieces of the loose skin fell out of my mouth.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  .However, I do not know what to do with the rest of the loose skin. It is very irritating. Should I pull it out gently, or wait for it to come out by itself. Or is there anything else I should do.


I have what feels like a piece of skin on the inside of my cheek that I can move with my tongue, at first I thought it was an ulcer as the pain feels like one, and also when I eat it hurts too. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .But never had one where I can move it with my tongue. Thanks.

lI had an ulcers in my tooth a wile ago it was very sore so I pressed with my finger next to my nose, ( when you smile the line that forms from you nose out to your cheek bone). I had antibiotics it got better but afterwards it still was sore in that area and it felt like a little boll sat there and I was scared to press or touch it. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .The other day I pressed there and now it is very swollen it does not hurt, but it is very swollen and now and then there is a feeling of a faint pinch. The swelling has spread from my cheek to now under my eye.


The side of my face where your cheek meets your gum on my R. side has been swollen for about 36 hours. I have no pain in my mouth or teeth on that side of my face, and until 10-12 hrs ago had relatively no pain, other than what I felt from the pressure of it being swollen.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  However, I have started experiencing some pain in front of my ear just below the temple, along my cheek bone to the side of my nose, where it ends. It is an "achy" to a subtle throbbing pain, which I have taken some Ibprofen's for, in doses of 3 @ 200mg per pill. I have concern, because of the swelling, but also when i initially felt a weird sensation, & it was shortly after that that it started to swell.  Once it started to swell, it did so at such a rapid rate, that I was heading into the ER, as I called my mother (a retired RN) for her opinion. She instructed me to try a hot wash clothe, wait for 30 mins. then to apply a cold/ice pack, along with taking Ibprofen's to see what effect that would have on it. After doing that I felt that the swelling had stopped and possibly started to go down, as that area didnt feel as tight. However, i was woken up with discomfort early this AM, with the pain I described earlier, along with feeling as though the swelling had increased, to my R. side of my upper lip, and lip itself.  I dont have insurance and would like to know if it would be better to get into a dentist, physician, or ER. Thank you for your time and advice.

Hello Dr. I'm 16 years old and have been concerned about my mouth lately. About a week ago my taste buds in the back of my mouth became very sore and ulcers are visible, and every night around 9:30 the very back of my tongue leading into my throat and top part of my throat gets very swollen.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  .It's weird because when I wake up the next day my throat is fine, but then the swelling reappears at night. It feels as if there's some kind of mucus/film on the back to my tongue and into my throat. I thought it may be tonsil related, but this morning i woke up with a abnormally shaped blister on the inside of my cheek. it has a white line going from the back of my mouth all the way to the blister, like fluids are being transferred to it. My front gums on my teeth are now become sensitive when I brush my teeth. I'm not sure what it is but I am a singer and it's making my very concerned about this occurring in my throat/mouth.


I have a diagnosis of Oral Lichen Planus, diagnosed through biopsy, of 6 years duration. It has flare-ups and quiescent phases, but right now I am in the worst flare-up I have ever experienced. Steroid mouth washes don't help, only adding thrush to the equation, so I mostly just put up with it, eat soup, and yogurt, and hold bio yogurt in my mouth for several minutes, several times a day, as this has been the best treatment I have found so far. I have been googling (well who doesn't these days!) and I wondered if Lysander might help, it seems to be effective on some issue in my mouths. Any advice.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below

Hi,I had some issue in my mouths and impatiently tried to get rid of that as fast as I could. I gargled with Bactidol like a madman to get rid of the ulcers quickly.

Hi, I am 21 years olds and for the last 2 years my wisdom teeth have slowly been coming in. The bottom 2 are almost fully out but have a flap of skin over them it is not painful and i know the importance of keeping my mouth clean to prevent food from getting stuck under the skin so the their is no pain or discomfort associated with the bottom 2. The 2 on top are also partially out but not completely but overall in this process my overbite has gotten more visible and today when my upper right wisdom pain started i was feeling around in my mouth with my tounge and i felt a hard bone like bump towards the right side of the roof of my mouth not too close to the wisdom tooth but its not painful and im not sure if it new or i just never realized it before is it just a bone over growth or is it something to do with my wisdom teeth Thank you for your time and help AAAA.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .

Hi I recenly have had abad cold that lasted for over a month. I was given a Z-Pack antibiotic and when I went to see my familydoctor he said I had a sinus infection and put me on steroids for a week. I finished them about 10 days ago, my ear where he had seen some fluid when he checked still feels a little saw near tnhe bottom of the ear along the jaw line. Recently I had gotten some Holloween candy. In the bag were what looked like jaw breakers but were those hot jaw breakers. After I had a few , a few days later my tongue felt like I had all ulcers and so I called my doctor and he prescribed a rince to swish around my mouth and spit out, to be used every 6 hours. It just makes the mouth numb. But when I looked I could seeulcers on the side of the tongue that had little white bumps on top of them but also towards the back of my tongue underneath the tongue on the side I also saw what looks almost like a small blood blister . I have been rinsing my mouth out with salt water in addition continuing to use the oral rinse the doctor prescribed but I can still feel the pain under my tongue and near the back of my throat .Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  .Should I be more concerned with this or is it something that takes a while to get rid of. It is ony on the side of my tongue near where the ear is still bothering me. Can you suggest anything to try.

I ve also recently noticed a hole in my gums. It s below my bottom teeth , directly over the jaw. When I press on the outside of my cheek, even lightly, it hurts. It hurts constantly, but even more if I do something like this. Or if I eat. My jaw and cheek have been hurting for several weeks but it s gotten nearly unbearable in the last couple of days. Also, my neck feels swollen, right below the jaw. It feels stiff. Only a couple of hours ago did I think to take a look inside my mouth where I found the hole in my gums. Maybe hole isn t the right word. Tear, maybe. A deep, elliptical tear. It looks clean, in a way. It s not bleeding , the edges look perfectly smooth.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below

Hi there. I had my wisdom teeth removed about three weeks ago. I had all four removed. I was swollen about three days after . . . nothing major. I felt no pain etc. It was easier than a root canal. I have just noticed some sweliing in my neck area and around my jaw line a bit . Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . I'm in not pain, it's just not very comfortable. I've been rinising with salt water 4 to 5 times a day. Is there anything else I should be doing. I contacted my oral surgeon as well, and they said this is normal . . . Is there anything else I should be doing. Thanks.


I went to the dentis the other day and had a couple of teeth filled on the left side of my face. During the procedure the right side of my face felt heavy. I thought it was due to the nitrous oxide mask. After the procedure I realized that the right side of my face was swollen. That night my eyelid, below my eye, the side of my face, and close to my ear was swollen and it felt like tiny air bubbles were underneath the skin. I used ice every ten minutes on and ten minutes off for two hours with no change. Finally today, two days later my face and eye are back to normal. I still have a little of the squishy, air bubble situation around my jaw line and neck, but not too much.Please see the image of the affected neck area doctor  below  What caused this.

My son - age 14 - with no other health problems - has suddenly (overnight) developed swelling between 3 of his lower front teeth and two painful marble-sized lumps on his neck. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . One of the lumps is directly under his chin, in the middle, approximately beneath where the problem with his gums is.  The other lump is directly under the end (farthest back) part of his jaw.  I assume it's the lymph node there.  He gets regular dental checkups and had dental xrays done only 2 or 3 months ago, with no cavities or other issues.  Does this sound like a tooth or gum infection and would it be better to see a dentist or a doctor.  Thanks.

There is no pain when I touch them, they are a bit hard. doctor said that they're maybe lipoma and have to confirm with FNA biopsy to make sure. actually, I'm not sure they're lipoma because they can't be felt to move slightly under skin when I press on them. is it true lipoma or other diseases. is it okay if I don't go for surgery.


Hi I went doc about a week ago because of swelling in my jaw and neck. I was advised to have an ultrasound and it was clear and doc said the cause of swelling was likely due to an infection of throat or some dental problem and had prescribed me with antibiotics for 5 days.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  So I went to dentist too see if everything was ok and I did my normal routine cleaning and I had 3 fillings. Dentist had taken an x ray and mentioned that my upper wisdom tooth had erupted and I would have remove it since it was overlapping with my other tooth and also since the bottom wisodom tooth had not erupted yet the top two was actually touching my gums  which causes infections and bacteria. The next morning after I had gone to the dentist I had a terrible headache followed by fever and a bad cough . So I had 3 days of temp and bad cough and felt week so had gone to another doc and mentioned that I have bronchitis and need to take a course of antibiotics. My concern is how long I have to wait to remove my wisdom tooth and if there would be any complications.

My husband had 1 tooth filled Thursday, December12, 2013.  The following day he started having pain in his jaw and neck, we thought nothing of it too much. Warm compress and Aleve helped for a little while, then spasms that went from the jaw and neck, to the ear and then to the head above his eye on the same side the work was performed.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .  On Sunday, the doctor was called to make him aware of the situation and him got a prescription of Tylenol 3 w/ codeine that didn't help.  My husband said his dentist was very rough, when flossing he had to stop him and let him know.  I called an oral surgeon specialist for a second opinion, because his face and jaw are swollen and it looks like its affecting his eyes as well.  Any suggestions. Thanks!

Dear Dr. Grief,My name is Kim, I'm living in San Diego, CA.I have toothache and my left neck is also swollen and so painful.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below ..I just have ultrasound this afternoon.Ultrasound technician said that: "lymph node look normal".

Hi My daughter (19) developed swelling in the neck about a week ago followed by soreness of the gum. After a couple of days she developed a fever and nausea. We made an emergency appointment with her dentist who prescribed amoxicillin for an infection. She also has been taking Advil for fever management. there was improvement for a couple of days but then seemed to level off. The swelling in the neck has not gone down significantly and then on the 4th day after beginning antibiotic treatment the fever and nausea have returned.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . Does this mean that the antibiotic is not working or that something else is going on. It needs to be mentioned that she is scheduled for wisdom tooth extraction in about 10 days (this has been scheduled for months) so we know that there is some existing tooth issues.


My husband had his teeth cleaned on Thursday.  His neck started swelling under one side of his jaw with a small amount of pain.

Hello - I had a sore wisdom tooth about 3 weeks ago, was given an antibiotic which seemed to take the pain away - I had no swelling at that stage.  The tooth appeared to calm down only thing I have noticed continuously is like a 'vibration' feeling in the tooth when I come down stairs or am walking quickly!!!  However, since yesterday I have an odd sensation up the jaw line (not pain just unusual feeling) but since yesterday evening I have developed a fairly large hard 'ball type' swelling in my neck under the jaw line which is painful to touch and to move my neck.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .  I am also just getting over a nasty cold so not sure if this is a swollen lymph node connected to the cold or could this actually be something more related to the sore tooth I have had..


I have a very painful area in my jawbone and this has now developed into a painful swollen lump under my neck to the left hand side. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below ..

My daughter had her wisdom teeth out a week ago. She had swelling so bad on her one side we made a trip to the er. Bruising is terrible. Full jawline, (and on the side with extreme swelling bruised eye,and mid cheek to nearly her sternum. She actually has 3 finger print bruises ( still blue) on her upper neck. (The area where he was holding her jaw open.)  Inside her mouth (3 teeth length) in front of her wisdom tooth removal site has running stitches from gum to her cheek. As the swelling has started to go down a hard lump has formed, not near the tooth removal site but on the site where the gum has been stitched to the cheek.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . .She has been taking antibiotics since the removal. I want to know what could cause the need for the extra stitches and if this kind of extreme bruising is normal for this procedure. ( she is on no daily meds and does not normally bruise easy)


Hello. I got my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday (it is now saturday night). Had two lowers removed, one was impacted. The impacted one is giving me problems. However, i do not think i have a dry socket because of my symptoms. My throat (tonsils almost) are really swollen and it hurts to swallow. i also cannot open my jaw very much. This started the evening of day 2. my actual stitches and sockets seem fine, but my neck area directly below the wisdom teeth is swollen as a ball is in there. its kind of like a muscle cramp. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .What do you think i should do. Infection or dry socket.


Hi, I had 3 teeth taken out on Friday (a few days ago). One wisdom needed to be cut (top left) with stitches as it was not out yet. Another wisdom tooth was partly out  of the gum (top right) and was taken out. The bottom right tooth (molar) was a crown/root canal tooth. It costs lost of money to have work on the molar, but they said there was an infection or something that showed up on the x ray so they took it out as well. When I got all 3 teeth extracted  I had to IV Injection (drip) in hand, and not much swelling, but my right bottom gum and side of face hurt after the numbing wore off. It's a lot worse 3-4 days later. My teeth on the right all hurt, so does my jaw/chin/under my tongue. I have a sore mouth, and back/neck pain (probably from truing to sleep on my left or on my back). Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below ..My ear ties to unblock, but it feels like an ear infection. I asked the dentist if I needed a script for antibiotics, but he just gave me a script for Endone/oxycodine(which I don't like, it makes me very sleepy and my heart race, it wears off after 3 hours). I've been taking ibuprofen and panadol/paracetamol. It's hard to eat and swallow and I have an unpleasant taste in my mouth (even with salt water to gargle). My dentist is off for another 2  days. Should I get antibiotic tables from my normal GP. Thank you.

5 days ago I had just come from a weekend at Esalen in N California. Sulfur hot springs. I felt slight fever with tender and swollen lymph nodes on right side of neck and right side of thyroid. I have had a benin cyst in the right side of my thyroid for 10+ years. 4 day days ago symptoms intensified with less to no fever. My PA did blood test. Thyriod levels were perfect. Test shows a slight elevation in something that meant my body was fighting something. That night immediately after taking small dose of non thc cdb oil (which i do not usually take. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .i just did it because i was trying to treat what was going on) I got extreme vertigo! 3 days ago A different Dr. determined it was my atlas and not my inner ear associated with the vertigo. He did craniosacral and it helped slightly. I was bed ridden the entire day. 2 days ago still bed ridden with the same symptoms. I got acupuncture and Chinese herbs which helped remedy the vertigo. I was mostly bed ridden that day. Fever and swelling continued. yesterday fever and swelling lessened and almost no vertigo. today fever and swelling lessened but still present. and no vertigo just shaky. no symptoms of flu or clod. What do you think is going on. Do I have a parasite. Did the vertigo have to do with the cbd oil. Do i have an ear infection from the hot springs. Thank you!

I have a rash on my lower leg. To me it looks like the rash of Vasculitis. It goes all the way around my leg right above my ankles nearly It started about 4 years ago, after going to the dr he said it was like an under the skin infection and gave me an antibiotic.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . It went away. Every since then, it has came back numerous times. I have no income at all and go to a free clinic but none of the Drs seem to think it is anything to worry about, however, my legs swell, hurt, at times feels warm/hot to the touch, itches occasionally. I feel tired all the time, I haven t lost weight as far as I know, most days anymore nothing seems to appeal to me to eat although I still eat. How can I get the Drs to really hear me and do test to find out what is really going on. I do take a BP med that does cause some swelling but the other symptoms no. I have been on the Meds for at least 3 years. The ras

OK....I became infected with most likely the A strain flu....my incubation symtoms included a right arm soreness that comes & goes for a few days, a slight tightness in my back upper right and just yesterday a slight scrachy throat that subsided somewhat (am awaiting the actual hard raw sore throat which should arrive any time now). AND just yesterday a few (WAVES) of nausea (no vomiting) could not eat...That ended and today can eat but slight queaziness. When this started I had thick yellow mucus...now long gone & (what most will never realize) but on my body B/4 every virus one or two tiny bluish marks on my skin...either on legs or hand & arm...this time BOTH. Virus always breaks out when these spots disappear and that is about where I am at now. Is this the A N3H2 monster.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below


I am a bit confused as to what I really have, my doctor implied that my rash was ring worm/ jock itch.

Doesn’t itch. He broke out with a rash on his back and it does itch...is that from the flu or are we dealing with something else.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below


Hi my 7 & 1/2 mo. Old daughter was recently diagnosed with a benign form of the some issue in my skines. Long story short. She s beyond miserable, & I would like to find her some relief. Here s a list of medications she s currently taking. Ibuprofen 100mg per 5 ml dosage is 3.75 ml every 8 hrs. I recently stopped giving her Tylenol. I was alternating between Tylenol and ibuprofen. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .She has a better reaction with just using the ibuprofen. I ve been giving Pedialyte freezer pops, and diluted Pedialyte (a small amount about 2 oz. Total per day; for 2 days now) With permission from Dr today I just started 1/4 tbs of Q-Dryl 3 times daily. She s now had her 2nd dose, and I m very pleased to say it s worked wonders; not just for her skin but for her irritability as well..I ve given her Aveeno (baby oatmeal) 30 min. soaks in room temp. water. Followed with Aveeno baby lotion. Saline (nasal spray) 2 sprays before meals, and 2 sprays at bedtime. Any who, my question is; can I use Caladryl on her rash spots. I ve used the calamine lotion in her already earlier today. It said 6 mo. or older was safe (she loved it) but in the Caladryl days under 2 yrs ask a Dr. So here I am. I would just call her Dr normally, but it s a quarter till midnight. I really do appreciate you taking the time to read my novel, although I said I would keep things short. -thank you April :)

Two weeks ago I was stung by a young yellow jacket on my left inner forearm 2 inches above my wrist. After 10 days of pain and itching, rash and swelling, it finally went away. Two days ago it began aching in the same spot, and it hurts even more when I touch it from the outside but it s not on the skin surface. Tonight it s slightly raised from under-the-skin swelling and the raised surface is about the size of a small egg.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below

I was trimming shrub at my house two weeks ago today. When I was finished - my skin on ankle itched but there was no rash or marks. About 3 to 4 hours later I notice two red marks on my ankle - one about 3/4 of an inch in length and the other directly below the first, about 1/2 inch in length. No pain but really bad itching - I used calamine lotion - marks filled with clear fluid and would ooze. I am now using 99% certified active aloe that I had previously used on a burn. Relieves the itching a lot but still filling with fluid and oozing. I do not know if I was bitten by an insect or what happened. Little concerned that this has been going on two weeks.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below


How do we determine if this is a case of shingles or a case of contact dermatitis. Full body rash, some open, some scabs, ER docs unable to help, PCP has been unavailable for review.

Hi, I am a visitor from Australia and was bitten by a mosquito on my ankle approx. 6 weeks ago. Since then, there is a dry small rash but the skin has not been broken. It is constantly itchy. Recently I put a cortisone ointment and it is still itchy. I suspect it is a Buruli ulcer (mycobacterium) which is being reported as a problem in that area. I am traveling with 2 types of oral antibiotics, 1. Cephalexin 2. Amoxicillin & clay. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .Do u think I should try one of these, or what do u suggest. Many thanks carmella


I had total hip replacement on 12/12. I was put on Celebrex and then aspirin. One week after surgery I developed generalized itching and then an increasing deep blistered rash on my back and front torso.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  .I also developed gastritis around 3 weeks post-op. I then went off all NSAIDS, taking Omneprazole. My question is about this rash, which is still very bothersome itch wise and the lesions are very deep and slow to heal. My neighbor had this same skin reaction after taking Celebrex! I wonder how long I should expect this rash to last.

Hello, I ve dealt with extreme itching on my majora labia for years now. I have tried steroid creams, wearing cotton underwear, stopped using body wash or any time if wash especially down there, I shave with a small buzzer so the hair isn t irritated and won t have the itching of it growing back, changed all my detergents and no fabric softener. After so many years and doctors visits I ve just accepted this. The one thing I would like advice on is the rash I now have on my inner thighs, it has stopped spreading but is bright red in colour. The skin in between and my thighs and majora labia are cracked, seeping clear liquid, won t heal, bit of a smell and now the skin on the rash and majora labia has thinned out and in places just won t heal.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below


To treat my diabetes, I started taking tradgenta two months ago, in addition to glimiperide and metformin.  I have had no reaction it, until possibly now.  The results have been excellent in controlling mt blood sugar.  I have been golfing the last two days in hot humid weather and I have itchy skin with a rash  at the waistline and bra lines when I finish golfing where my clothing contacts my skin. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  My clothes are not too tight.  The rash goes away by morning.    I really would hate to stop my tradgenta....it is working so well.  Can Medicines cause a rash after being tolerated well for two months.  Are there other meds in that class that might be a good alternative or are they likely to cause a rash, also.   I put on some hydrocortisone cream to help relieve the itching. Any other ideas.  This sequence has been going on for 2 days.Thank you very much.Martha

Hi, I have a broken tooth that had cut my tongue maybe two days ago. Now my tongue is swollen, my throat is severely irritated, the right side if my face has swelled considerably and my sinuses are a complete mess. I mean constant nasal drip while still feeling totally stuffed up (and when I use a tissue the only thing that comes out is like a clear gelatin-like substance), my eyes are partially swollen, red and somewhat leaking. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .So did all of this spark from a cut on my tongue or is the real issue the broken tooth. (by broken I mean that a small chunk of my tooth has chipped away) Furthermore, the tooth has been this way for sometime but I do not always have these same problems. In others words I will be totally fine for a period of time and then every once and a while this happens.


My tongue has been pasty and a white-greenish color for two days and my eyes are also very swollen.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . There is a weird taste in my mouth and I brushed my tongue until it bled to remove only most of the gook that is layered on it. Are these combine symptoms of something I should be concerned with.

Hello DoctorSince the past 2 weeks I've been freaking out a lot, Ive had and on and off sore throat and pain in my tonsils, lightheadedness, pain behind the right eye socket and frontal/sinus headaches which went down now.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  Now yesterday my tongue was very swollen and hurt on the right side when I dont remember accidentally biting it but I didnt check it out. I just went and checked it in the mirror and the skin at the part that was swollen and hurting is gone (the skin that covers your tongue if that makes sense). I started looking up cancer symptoms and now I'm freaking out even more. I'm only 21 and have always been healthy as could be, Ill go to the medical office first thing tomorrow but Im frightened out of my mind right now.


My 18 month old has  and upper lip is a little swollen as well. His mouth hurts and he tries to eat but only takes one bite and says ow and won t eat anymore. We took him to the dentist and he s on a rx for amoxicillin but he wasn t sure what was causing the swelling.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . He has a mild fever and we re giving him advil for pain & inflammation. I also noticed tonight he has a few small redder than usual spots on his tongue, almost like he ate something sour that irritated his taste buds. His hands and feet are not red, I checked in case it was hand, foot & mouth disease. Oh and he s not sleeping well at night, he wakes up every couple hours but he s still very active during the day. Any idea what s wrong with my little man. Thank you!!


my tonsils has been really swollen right under my eye for at least 6 months and my dr.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  thought it was a recurring sinus infection but i started feeling like my teeth were being pushed closer together directly below the swelling and my dentist took an xray and said it might not be swelling but a growth because two of my teeth had actually moved. i think he said a fibroid something but im not sure what that means

Hello..I had a lower broken molar extracted a week ago. The socket became infected yesterday as well as one side of my throat, which is resembling strep throat due to the white patches on the tonsil. I was taking regular 500mg Penicillin tablets 3 times a day for 5 days with one day skipped. I started taking 500mg Amoxicillin 3 times a day starting today, but I have yet to get any relief and now the opposite side of my throat is starting to hurt as well as small white patches. There are 2 swollen and tender lymph Nodes under my jaw line on the side of the extraction.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  My question is should I continue this course of Amoxicillin for the next 5 days or see a Emergency care Dr tomorrow.

My cheek is also numb and I think my nerve is swollen. Will this go away.


On the left side of my gums, towards the back between the two back teeth, I have this bump that has formed. It started probably 5 days ago it hurt to chew on that side but I thought maybe something got stuck there or possibly a cavity. Yesterday I noticed my cheek was starting to swell and it was in pain even when not eating. If I touch the bottom of my jaw it is very sensitive and hurts. It even feels like the left tonsil or lymph node is swollen.Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below  My whole neck is sore now and I'm experiencing headaches. Today I noticed a bump starting to form in the back and it is constant pain and it feels like my cheek has grown. I am hoping to get into the dentist tomorrow but I'm not sure what it is and if I should worry about waiting.


Hi, I have a small growth on my tonsils and I am due to have surgery to have it removed, the DR said it is very common and it is some sort of a skin tag. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .Should I ask for it to be tested after removal or should I just trust him. Also what side effects does partial uvula removal entail.


I can't work out if I h e a tooth abscess or tonsilitis.

Hi, back in the beginning of November I had an infected wisdom tooth. It caused the left side of my face to swell. I saw an oral surgeon who gave me antibiotics to clear it up until I could get an appointment to get them removed. The swelling went away but also at this time I noticed my lymph nodes under the left side of my jaw were larger than the other side. They cause no pain but you can definitely tell a difference. I read that that sometimes occurs with wisdom teeth infections. A week or two later I had all four wisdom teeth removed and everything went fine. I didn't take the recovery seriously due to the fact I only took my antibiotics for a week until the pain went away instead of finishing out the bottle. So here it is in the beginning of February and I notice my lymph nodes on that side are still swollen and within the last week I've noticed my left tonsil is swollen more so than the other. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . .Again, it causes no pain however when I swallow I do feel a little discomfort. I believe a lot of it might be psychological now because I've been worrying myself about it so much. I'm just curious if this is something you have ever heard of and if you might know what I should do.


I have had a toothache for about a week now but 4 days ago my left tonsils swelled.  Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below ..It also caused swelling under my left eye. Last night I started feeling to my stomach and today I have a numbness sensation in my cheek. I've been taking ibuprofen and using ice packs to help with the swelling but nothing is working. Could it be an infection. I don't have a job and my boyfriend is the only one working so we're pretty tight on cash right now.


I had oral sex with a girl four days ago. Two days after, I noticed my gums above my two front teeth were swollen. It is now a darker pink/light red and the swelling has spread behind my teeth.

Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . .Is this being caused by the oral sex and should I go see a doctor.


Hello,I just went to the dentist for a crown and not sure what happen, but when the doctor was putting the anesthesia I felt a sharp pain in my eye, the same side he was working.

I have pericoronitis that started yesterday with mild trismis. Today, the entire left tonsils is swollen as well as lymph nodes. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . .I have radiating pain to my head, ear, eyes. I had a routine dental xray on Tuesday for referral to Oral Surgeon. Dentist called in penicillin for me and I've already taken 2,000mg today (per recommended dose). I'm using saline rinses every 2 hours or so and taking ibuprofen. What else can I do for relief. How long should I expect these symptoms to continue. I can't talk or open my mouth enough to brush.


I had a root canal in early may.  Prior to the root canal, my symptoms were a hollow feeling in my left ear and tingling down my jaw.  The endodontist determined that my back lower tooth was not healthy (no infection) and performed a root canal.  The feeling mostly disappeared after the initial root canal, but obviously the endodontist and dentist have been in my mouth several times over the last month and a half, used novacaine, etc. for the crown.  During the entire time, I have had swelling in my upper left cheek (inside), like little pockets of inflammation.  Along with this, my allergies have been bad and I have had sinus pain, only on that left side in my cheek.  After the dentist put my crown on recently, my left gland in my neck became swollen and has not gone down.  The sinus pain comes and goes, the hollow feeling in the ear comes and goes and my jaw below my ear feels stiff and sort of hurts.  I went to the urgent care to rule out an ear infection or strep.  She said my tonsils and salivary gland are swollen and I had a lot of post nasal drip.  She recommeded Claritin D.  I have been taking it, but the swelling has not gone down with that or ibuprofen.  The dentist also looked at my mouth and says my teeth seem fine. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below .


Just had my (all four cut out, lower two impacted) wisdom teeth removed 1 week and 1 day ago...  I have full, if not more developed, swelling of the tonsils (particularly around the lowers).  Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . There is a sometimes brown, sometimes green, sometimes yellow, foul-tasting, foul-smelling discharge that leaks from the tooth site slowly over time.  Once I was pressing an ice pack into the swollen cheek area under my jaw and above my neck and caused a bunch to squirt out of my lower left side extraction site, which I promptly expelled.I'm still in tremendous pain, but it is somewhat alleviated by Lorcet.  I called the office and they insisted I not come in to see them when it was "for sure not a dry socket or infection."  It will be fine this is perfectly normal they told me.  I am on no antibiotics...  I am concerned that my doctor/dentist sucks.  What do you think about this.


I have what seems to be post nasal drip , one tonsil slightly swollen, ear pain and 4 wisdom teeth. Please see the image of the affected area doctor  below . .1 is impacted, 1 is partially through and two are all the way through. I dont have a sore throat or cough, slight pain in hard palate near wisdom tooth that is all the way through. Also swollen glands under jaw on either side of the throat. I was on antibiotics about one to two weeks ago for my wisdom teeth. Could all of this be from wisdom teeth. Also the swollen glands under my jaw are large and hard in the morning and then go down during the day.

Hi Dr Bhatti For a few months now I have had what seems like an infection in my mouth. I have hard lumps on the one side of my mouth by the wisdom teeth. Th lumps seem to be situated where the gum and the cheek combine. I have had an ongoing sore throat over these months. Symptoms have included a milky layer on the back of my tongue and some irregular looking patches on the back of my tongue which can give me a little burning sensation at times. I also have two lumps on my uvula , one underneath my tongue, a swollen tonsil on the right side (I have suffered tonsillitis problems over the years so don t know if this is related) As well as these issues, at times I have had red sore gums. A doctor I have seen thinks this could be related to depression as the lumps seem to be located in an area which I could have been chewing at in my sleep.Please see the image attached  doctor  below
