[|Human|] Have a reoccurring small bump that forms about gum level, but on the inside of the cheek, near my molar, or directly below the corner of my mouth about a half inch down. The bump never hurts, but a pin-point sized area below the bump has a metallic taste when I probe it with my tongue. And if I press my thumb against the outside of my cheek, and squash the bump against my teeth, rolling it with pressure from back to front, a liquid distinctly slimier in consistency than saliva seems to come out of it. I thought I should make sure this is not a sign of something more serious. It never hurts, and seems to only happen every couple months.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your question, the small bump on your inner side of the cheek could be an inflamed salivary gland duct.if the gland duct is infected then pus coming from the duct might taste like salty...or if the swelling is on the gums then it can be because of tooth infection which has resulted in puss formation and Chat Doctor. . Consult an oral physician, and you need to take some radiographs to rule out these two conditions... I hope my answer will help you...with regards.
