How Can A Tender Swelling Near The Left Temple Be Treated?
I woke up 4 days ago with a slight swelling near my left temple. There is tenderness and pain if I touch the area. I have also had a sinus headache since. Today I started with aches in my shoulders and back. My temperature is 98. I did not bump my head.
