What Causes Lump Behind The Jaw Bone Along With Fever And Stomach Pain?
My five year old has a very large lump at the back of his jaw bone, behind the last molar and has developed fever and a mild stomach ache. I ve never seen anything like this, wonder what it could be and whether I should be calling my dr. or dentist.

Hi....by what you say this looks like a suppurative cervical adenopathy or infection if the neck area lymph nodes. I suggest you consult your Pediatrician as this might require evaluation and antibiotic therapy.
