Question:
Um, my mouth is kinda a mess right now...?
i have an enormous canker sore on my cheek, one of the things under my jaw (a gland i think?) is swollen, and i have a strange sore-type-thing on my gums. is it just bad luck that this is all at once, or should i go see a dentist? im using the same toothpaste as always... i also have 3 teeth growing in, but that doesnt have anything to do with it i don't think...
Answers:
Your gland is swollen most likely due to the canker sore. When your body is fighting off an infection, lympth nodes in the area help the process. The sore on your gums is probably associated with the canker sore.
Have your parents take you to the dentist just so they can check it out and make sure there's no serious infection.
