Is Soreness At Jaw Line, Welted Skin With Bruising Normal After Endoscopy?

I had an endoscopy done this morning and notice soreness at my jaw line just below my ears, where my glands are. Tonight both sides of my neck just below my jaw in the area of soreness, my skin is welted and it is beginning to look bruised. Is this normal?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got your endoscopy done. Now you got soreness in jaw line just below your ears. It may be due to inflammation of mouth due to injury leading to enlargement of lymph nodes in area of jaw line causing soreness. Similarly your skin bruising may be due to injury in endoscopy procedure. All these symptoms can occur after endoscopy procedure. There is nothing to worry about it. It will be okay in due course of time. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C will help in recovery. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
