A schoolgirl was rushed to hospital following a routine dentist check up, where she was diagnosed with a 'rare disease.'
Millie Kelly, 11, first experienced pain in her jaw and a 'small' lump in her mouth, but soon the swelling began to get worse. Mum Nikki took her daughter to the dentist, where an x-ray showed that the pain wasn't being caused by a tooth pushing through - it was something else.
Millie was sent to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool for further tests, which revealed a mass in her jaw. She was soon diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the bone, reports the Liverpool ECHO.
