I agree that your doctors don't mind being bothered when you are worried. I tend to panic now with every lump. It could be a tooth infection to. If the swelling moves up I would go to the ER right away. I hope it is something that's a quick fix with antibiotics. Good wishes and all the comments lately from everyone here have helped me stay a bit focused at the moment.
