Recurring Inflammation Below Cheek. Tissue Sent For Biopsy. Antibiotics Taken. Suggestions?
Hi My mom had a huge internal rock solid warm inflammation near cheek below eye area..initially when given antibiotics assuming bacterial infection the swelling came down. But after two days again swelling has come back..now the doctor has removed that tissue and sent it for biopsy..waiting for reports..my question is if its cancer the swelling shouldnt have come down with antibiotics right? So can cancer be ruled out..? At the moment swelling n inflammation is totally gone. Pls help ..this anxiety n stress killing us..
Hi,looks like the swelling was due to some bacterial infection which recovered with a course of antibiotic.Please get the sugar level of your mother checked to rule out diabetes.As the biopsy has already done we can wait for the report.Thankyou
