How To Treat Face Injury?
My son was in the playground and was hit hard on the face by a swing. That was 3 weeks ago. He has a large hard lump under his cheek. It is also painful. He had an X-ray and did not suffer a fracture. Is this blood or scar tissue and will the lump ever go away?

Dear patient
hard lump may be hematoma collection in the area of cheek. Hematoma takes more time to disappear. I would like to advise ultrasound of local part to confirm diagnosis. if report shows only Hematoma you can wait and watch. if it shows or her findings please consult general surgeon nearby your area.
