Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump On The Jaw Bone

I found a lump on the left side of my jaw bone. First it was soft and i was able to drink without a problem but now the lump grew, became larger in size and its spreading under my chin. When i touch it, its really hard and it hurts a lot, and now its becoming really hard to drink water. Can anyone help me?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Based on your history, I would strongly recommend a physical examination of the swelling on your jaw bone, without which it might not be possible to reach at a provisional diagnosis, and decide on the related investigations for confirmation of the pathology. Therefore, I would advise you to consult a general surgeon/ENT surgeon for a clinical assessment followed by investigations and further management of the lesion.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
