Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Cheek After An Injury
I have a friend who was mugged, punched. His left cheek was swollen and he kept pushing on it to expel the blood. It's shrunken in size but a marble sized bump remains on his cheek. It's red and hard. What is it and how does he get rid if it? He tried popping it but nothing comes out.
Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The red hard swelling or lump could be a hematoma secondary to the injury. Or it can be secondary to bony fracture. consult o oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any fracture. If there is a fracture then it has to be treated surgically. If it is hematoma it subsides by its own. You can give alternative cold and hot fomentation over the lump. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
