What Causes Pea Sized Lump In Mouth?

Hi, my daughter has a lose molar tooth that is hanging on by one side of the tooth, edge towards the cheek. She has developed a pea sized lump which is close to the lose tooth. The lump is moveable and sore to touch. I am not sure if the two issues are related and just a coincidence.
Any advice, information would be warmly received.

Many thanks.

Brett.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Most probably another tooth is erupting in place of the loosened molar.
Warm saline gargling and pain relieving drugs will do
The loose tooth falls off in due course.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
