Lump on DS neck/jaw

He just came to me and said ‘mummy I’ve got a lump’. It’s just under his jawline, a bit tender. I had a look in his mouth and his back tooth is a bit broken and on his top him, there’s what looks like an abcess. Raised red bump with a ‘head’ on it.
Could that be what’s causing the lump?

I would imagine so. A dentist would be able to say for sure. Is he not in agony with the abscess?

Not now. He had a bit of toothache last week. The abcess looks like it might have burst.

I'd make a dental appointment for him. The broken tooth should be dealt with.

I will do. Thanks x
