Suggest Treatment For Lump On Face

My friend has a lump on her face about three inches below her chin. It swollen and slightly bruised. She didn t hit it on anything and isn t taking any new medicines. She s tried icing it and it doesn t help. She can t get to a doctor to today and she s kind of freaking out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
She may have enlarged lymphnode or submandibular salivary gland enlargement. Lymphnode enlargement may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. Submandibular gland enlargement may be due to siledenitis or mass. She should go for ultrasound study. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
