What To Do For Bump In The Gums, Upper Right Cheek Pain?
I'm having some upper inside cheek pain on my right side just near my top row of teeth. It seems like the area might be inflamed near the gums but not where it hurts. There is also an invisible-like bump like thing around a half an inch long? I'm really confused and it's painful when I eat!
