Hello Doctor,
I’m experiencing a swelling under my jaw that seems to get bigger when I eat, and the pain increases significantly. I’m not sure what the diagnosis could be, but I’m really concerned. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Based on the symptoms you're describing, it’s important to get an X-ray done to better understand the cause of the swelling. It could be related to an infection or an issue with your salivary glands. I would recommend starting antibiotics to address any possible infection and also scheduling a full mouth checkup to ensure there are no underlying dental issues contributing to the pain. Once the results of the X-ray are available, we can discuss the next steps in your treatment.
Thanks
