Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD A KNOT COME UP INSTANTLY ON MY FOREHEAD SO I WENT TO THE ER AND A CAT SCAN WAS DONE AND THEY SAID I HAD SINUSITIS,NEXT DAY IT WAS WORSE, THAN THEY SAID I HAD CELLULITIS OF THE FACE. NEVER HAD ANY PAIN OR FEVER. AFTER BEING ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR 10 DAYS THE KNOT RETURNED. THEY CHANGED ANTIBIOTICS AND GAVE ME ANOTHER SHOT. HAD A FOLLOW UP 3 DAYS LATER THE KNOT WAS GONE BUT I HAD AND STILL DO HAVE SWELLING ON LEFT SIDE OF MY MOUTH. THE FOLLOW UP DOCTOR SAID I AM HAVING FACIAL ADEMA FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. LAST NIGHT I WAS VERY UPSET AT HOME AND THE KNOT REAPPEARED AND WAS GONE THIS MORNING. THE SWELLING BESIDE MY MOUTH GETS BETTER WITH BENEDRYL BUT DOES NOT FULLY GO AWAY. IT HAS NOW BEEN 5 DAYS WITH THE SWELLING BESIDE MY MOUTH. VERY UNSURE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE RECURRING KNOT AND THE SWELLING WITH NO PAIN. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED WHEN THE SWELLING ON MY FACE GOT WORSE FRIDAY NIGHT IT WAS TINGLING AND A NUMB FEELING AS IT WAS GETTING LARGER
