I'm noticing a white, bulging ulcer-like thing in my mouth. It's positioned at the lower backside of my lips and has been there for two weeks. It's not causing any pain or showing redness around it. I'm a bit concerned about what this could be and wondering what steps I should take. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

View allI've been having jaw pain and discomfort on the side of my face, and I just realized there's a clicking sound when I open and close my mouth on the left side. Could this be TMJ? What exercises or treatments can help without needing surgery?
Yes, the jaw pain, discomfort, and clicking sound on one side could be indicative of a Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. However, it's important to see a dentist or doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Numerous non-surgical options can help manage the pain and clicking, including physical therapy, medications, dietary changes, and home remedies

I'm really worried. A couple of days ago, I accidentally hit my wife on her right cheek, and now her jaw on that side is swollen. It was starting to get better, and she didn't have any pain for about two weeks. But suddenly, yesterday, she's in a lot of pain again, and the swelling has increased. Should we see a dentist, or would a regular doctor be better for this?
visit a surgeon it would be better
