What Causes A Lump On The Mouth?
hi may I ask a question ? I have a lump on the upper right side of my mouth near a cavity and the whole right side of my face hurts I've tried swishing with salt water and peroxide and amoxcicillin and ibuprofen for the pain nothing works. What should I do? What could it be?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Such lump can be cause by a stone in salivary ducts. Such stone blocks saliva flow and causes pain especially when swallowing. If you smoke, mouth cancer should be also ruled out.
I suggest you to consult laryngologist with this issue. In case of stone, simple incision can help.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
