A member asked:

There is a hard ball like lump when i press near thesubmandibular gland under the chin.sometimeswheni open my mouth huge pain.shall i worry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two issues: A hard ball like a lump is suggestive of an abscess. The moist common cause is a draining infection from a lower tooth. Huge pain upon opening is suggestive of a TM joint issue due to either infection or a biomechanical displacing meniscus. Both issues require medical/dental attention.
