Hey guys.
So I've suffered with HA for a few years now but I thought I had it under control until about a fortnight ago when I woke up with a sore lump on my cheek opposite one of my upper molars. The tooth in question has a rather sharp edge and it obviously irritated what I think is my saliva gland. It took a few days for the pain and discomfort to subside.
Fast-forward two weeks and the bump still hasn't fully resolved. It's nowhere near as big as it was but it is still there. I made an appointment with my dentist today and I see her on the 24th of this month.
The reason I posted here is that I know I'm going to find it hard to keep a level head until then. I'm pretty sure it's just irritation but I had the usual thoughts running through my mind; 'It should have gone by now' or 'What if it's cancer.' This gland could have been this size to begin with but I'm not sure as the one on the opposite side of my mouth seems relatively flat.
Sorry for the long post guys, has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Thanks.
