Pus filled lump inside cheek

2022-03-21 01:35:15
I use to feel a lump inside my cheek for last 3 years. I have shown it to multiple dentist, however,they say that they are swollen salivary glands and nothing serious since it is not growing. Recently, I am witnessing issue of pus filled lump developing everytime i eat something in the area where the salivary glands are swollen. The lump dissappear in a while. Is this something serious?
