Jaw bone has a growth ball shape and painful?
Question
My son (9 years old) has been complaining of pain on his jaw bone for a few weeks now. It mostly hurts if you touch it. It feels like a ball. What could this be?

Not to scare you, but it could be a cyst or a tumor. And, I'm not one of those people that automatically jump to conclusions. I had a 'stem' growing out my jaw, and it was really painful, and it turned out to be a tumor. If he gets listless, or it hurts too bad, I'd suggest taking him to the dentist.
