Hello,

I can understand your concern. As the skin is red and hot and you are feeling a lump underneath, it seems that your daughter is having some sort of bacterial infection in the area.

There are various possibilities regarding the infection in the area such as tooth abscess in the upper jaw, parotid gland infection, skin infection etc.

I would advise you to visit a pediatrician for the physical examination of the area regarding the size, color, texture and exact location. If it is infection, she might have to take a course of antibiotics to combat the infection.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. I wish your daughter feels better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
