Dear Doctor,

Gud Morning.
Name: Elizabeth, Female
Age: 39
Past Medical History: PCOs, Acid reflux - Both under control now

About 15 days ago, i developed a small round movable painful lump overnight on my left cheek. The exact location is between the jaws, somewhere beneath the upper premolar location (Not seen from outside or inside the cheek). I went to an ENT who prescribed me antibiotics and pain killer for a week. Though the pain has subsided and the lump little smaller, the lump is still out there. I checked with my dentist who found a grossly decayed lower wisdom teeth on the left, advised either extraction or root canal within a week. But he too has no idea what the lump might be.
I am yet to report for tooth extraction. In the mean time the lump bothers my mind more than body and i feel that the left side of the face, ear all have slight pain and a little tingling sensation too. Am too scared it might be some malignancy. I have no problem with swallowing food or opening my mouth to full. My concern is none of the doctors even want me go for an ultrasound or imaging. Please let me know what could this lump be afterall.
