What Is The Painful Bump On My Gum?
My general tooth area (second from the back, right side, bottom) has hurt a while, I thought it was from grinding, then a bump (with pulse!) formed on outside of jaw bone and hurts, now I have a bump on the inside of my gums next to my tooth. Is this a dental thing, an antibiotic thing, or just a big pimple inside my mouth?

Hello:)Welcome to HCM.
This is a infection in your tooth or gingiva.Do a x-ray done relation to the tooth.
I suggest you to consult your dentist for a clinical examination.
Do warm saline gargling to control the infection.
This is not because of antibiotic or a pimple.Take a OTC analgesic if necessary.
Regards.
