White zit like bump in 9 yr old mouth....

I have a picture to post to this thread .. my daughter came to me with a zit like bump on the inside on her mouth. It’s below her front bottom two teeth a couple days ago. This makes day 3!

I told her we’d need to see the dentist. She of course doesn’t want to go - now it’s gotten larger and it’s doubled in size - yet still smaller than 1/4 of a dime. (Actually now that it’s doubled in size it’s probably 1/4 of a dime.)

Her sister has recommended she pop it to allow abscess to leak out which will alliviate the pain.. possibly go away??  Approximately every 3-5 months she gets a white zit on her tongue that hurts and it will eventually dissolve on it’s on.. out of my 4 children she’s the only one whom gets these irritating and painful things!

What do I do? Yesterday I gave her Tylenol and today I just gave her Tylenol! I had her wash her mouth out with warm water and salt the last 2 days but today she doesn’t want to use salt water!!  

Nor does she wish to see a dr! Nor the urgent care!  I took a picture but it’s not allowing me to upload it.. darn it.

    Take her to the dentist... She is just a kid and you know what is best. I suggest you go see a professional. It could be allergies or infections.
