Brief Answer:
Kindly send me photographs.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome at HCM.
I am Dr Saad Sultan and will be answering your query.
I have read and understood your health concerns.
Kindly do send me the photographs of swelling so that it can be better correlated.
I would like to ask few more details like,
Is swelling painful? What is the colour of overlying skin? Is it red?
She needs to be examined clinically before a reasoned conclusion can be drawn.
The discomfort may be due to infection. You need to wait till your lab results.
Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis is a good choice to proceed with.
Just stay calm And use acetaminophen to relieve discomfort.
Feel free to ask me anytime.

Ok thank you. My daughter lives in Bhutan and I live in NZ so cant send photos. The swelling I'm told is mild and the pain not so bad. She feels generally ok and is still going to school and doing normal activities. No fever or loss of appetite. I just wanted a second opinion since im not there myself. Still I'ma little bit worried.
