Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Had Surgery To Correct Broken Jaw. Have Lumps Under Chin. Scan, Biopsy Results Normal. Prescribed Antibiotics. Reason?
I had surgery to correct a broken Jaw 2 years ago. I still have swollen lumps under my chin and neck then weep maybe twice to three times a month. I have been given a scan, due injection and have had a biopsy but results came back clear and have now been put on a course of antibiotics for 3 months but I still do not know what is wrong?
Hello, Eventhough the fractured jaws are corrected thro'surgery,the functioning as that of previous healthy jaws will not be attained. I would advice you to avoid mouth opening too widely. Jaws has to be immobilised for a while. Physiotherapy has to be undergone. Intermittent hot and cold packs can be applied. If symptoms persists,please do visit a dentist. Take care.
