Painful lump: Pain, bleed, or swelling deserves immediate attention. Your symptoms can be caused by any combination of intra-oral, temporo-mandibular joint, and/or ear infections, dysfunctions, and/or lesions. Please see both your General Dentist and your General Physician to begin the differential diagnostic process of comprehensive examinations, imaging, and/or lab tests. May need Specialists also.
