I've noticed this red spot inside my cheek that just appeared today, and I'm a bit concerned about it. I go for regular oral check-ups and even take antioxidants to keep things in check. I do chew tobacco sometimes, though. I haven't had any issues with eating or opening my mouth, but the red spot is making me anxious. Could you shed some light on what this might be?

View allI'm on an antibiotic course for a tooth cavity issue, and due to the lockdown, the dentists can't do any root canal procedures. They've given me Augmentin 625 Duo, Ultracet, and Pan D to take for the meantime. But now, after 24 hours, I'm starting to feel feverish. Could any of these medications be causing the fever?
It is unlikely that these drugs would cause fever. The fever might be due to your tooth infection. If the fever persists or becomes high grade, please consult your dentist.

I've been getting this small white pearl-like lump on the roof of my mouth. It seems to come and go, sometimes pretty quickly, and other times it keeps popping up. I'm wondering if this is something to worry about or if it's a common thing. Any idea what it might be?
That needs evaluation,visit ENT docotro for the same and appropriate management

I'm dealing with this small hole in my mouth near my lower left molar, and it's always hurting. I notice it feels a bit better after I gargle for a little bit. There's no bleeding, but the pain wont go away, and there's some swelling in my left jaw. I'm starting to worry if this could be something serious like cancer or if it's just an issue with my wisdom tooth. What could be causing this?
It sounds more likely to be related to a wisdom tooth issue or a dental infection, especially if there's swelling and pain in the jaw. Cancer typically involves more noticeable changes like persistent sores, bleeding, or lumps. It's best to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
