Could Rapidly Growing Lump In Jaw Be Dental Related?

Hi. I have a rapidly growing lump in my right jaw. it is very tender to touch. At first I thought it was a deep underlying pimple. But now it feels like the size of a small grape. could this be dental related? I tried warn compresses bit it has not helped. It seems to be getting bigger every day over the past three days.

HI.
This may be dental-related .
Have you got a bad teeth in the area around this?
Tenderness means there is an infection . It would be wise to get examined by a Doctor/ Dentist for clinical evaluation ( which is very important ) may be to go for dental x-ray and to take appropriate antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines in appropriate doses. Carelessness may lead to an abscess formation and delayed healing.
I find this answer helpful
