Suggest Treatment For Swollen Jaw Line
Hi. My daughter (15 with Aspergers so medical descriptions are sometimes cloudy) has a "weird" feeling under her jawline (both sides) which is a bit swollen.. This came about suddenly. She has not eaten anything unusual. Earlier she was complaining that her knees both hurt. They seem swollen too - just below the kneecaps. She says it hurts when she walks. What do I make of all this swelling and whatnot?

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Please visit your dentist once and get examined clinically. There is nothing to worry.There might be food debris accumulation and causing pain to her.
Inadequate oral hygiene can aggravate her gum problems too.
Therefore ask her to do warm saline rinses and please see your dentist.for knee swelling please see your orthopadedics .Dental problems and knee swelling are nowhere related.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
