Could An Ingrown Wisdom Tooth Be The Cause For A Painful Lump Under Chin Near Jawline?

Okay so my wisdom teeth are growing in and one of them hurts a lot. I have to get them removed but in the mean time I got this lump under my chin near my jaw line. It's almost directly under my hurting wisdom tooth I was wondering if that normal or something else is wrong. It's pretty painful

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Yes this could be because of the impacted wisdom tooth.
I would suggest you to consult to an Oral surgeon get a thorough checkup done take an OPG radiograph and plan for the removal of tooth.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.

Take care!
