Q: Crushed salivary gland ????

Hi All,


I'm wondering if you could help me?
It appears I am starting to get my wisdom teeth in but that isn't the pain. I am receiving a little bit of pain from a small hard lump (which is white) in the inside corner of my mouth. I have been using mouth wash and dropping diluted Betadine gargle directly onto the lump which at first helped painwise and size. But now it feels as if the lump has gotten bigger... I have huge fear of dentists and the needles they oh so love to insert into your mouth... but I'm wondering if I should maybe have this checked out??? I've googled this and it says I may have crushed a salivary gland and that it should heal in a few months.
Or will I be able to get away with some antibiotics?
