Autism, Knot On Left Jawline, Problem In Communicating, No Pain
Yes, I have a 10 year old son with autism , and just noticed a knot on his left jawline yesterday. Since he has trouble communicating, we don t really know what caused it but the best we can remember, we think he hit it on something because he was fussing and we saw his face was red - didn t see a knot at that time. He doesn t seem to be in any pain, but I wondered if I should take him to a dentist , doctor, who? I ve already called his dentist but they haven t returned call yet.

this knot my be because of clotting of blood in that area after bleeding..........
if there is no pain,do get worried about this,but go to dentist and go for the examination.
