[|Human|] I have been getting my bottom wisdom teeth in for a while now but I have this REALLY painful lump (or its just swollen back there) on the right side at the very back. It hurts for me to swallow because of it and I notice that right under my chin close to my neck, its also sore when I touch there. At first I thought it was a canker sore (I think thats what you call them) but now Im not so certain. Could it be my wisdom tootChatDoctoring in wrong or something like that? oh and by the way Im only 18.
[|AI|]  Hi dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. The symptoms you mention in query could be due to few reasons like :-- Due to blocked duct of salivary gland. The duct of salivary gland become blocked due to any foreign body or stone formation, saliva get accumulated and get infected. This is the reason for pain. - Due to infected lymph node. Lymph nodes get infected due to bacterial or viral infection.- Due to dental abscess. When infection or pus get accumulated ate the root tip. It don't seems to happen because of wisdom tooth or canker sore . I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination. Doctor may order X-ray and blood test to confirm the diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin) for at least 10 days or perform minor surgery to remove salivary gland. If your wisdom tooth is impacted then you should also get it extracted, so that it will not cause problem in the future. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
