Patient: hi im 16 years old about 5"7 and weigh around 150. i know i shouldnt, but i dipped some tabacco 2 days ago and a white sore formed in between my gum and teeth..what im more worried about though is that today i noticed an average size lump underneath my right side jaw. do you know what this could be? Doctor: Hi,Dear don't worry.I understood yur health concerns.-You suffer from acute sub mandibular lymphadenitis due to oral infected tobacco ulcer you had.-Dont worry for that lump to be Cancerous lump, as its infective lump.Tratment- I would treat it as follows -- tb NSAID x5 days-th antibiotics from Er doctor or GP.x5 days.- bland liquid diet for 1 WK- no hot tea or drinks.- Zytee gel locally 2 times a day. This would resolve the lump and oral ulcers in 1.5 wks time.Hope this attends your query.-Wellcome to HCM for any more help you need.
