What Causes A Large Growth On The Face, Headache And Fatigue?

I had a growth come up on my face very rapidly and quite large. I also have had symptoms of what I would call food poisoning type symptoms (nauseated stomach before and after I eat, headaches, tired, and feeling bad like a fever. Could the latter be related to the growth on my face or vice versa or it is possibly two different things?

Hello,

I can understand your concern. Any growth on the face that has appeared suddenly and growing fast should not be ignored. The symptoms like headache, feverish feeling and lethargy can be due to presence of the growth.

However, it is very difficult to suggest diagnosis and treatment without examining the growth clinically as there are many swellings of different diseases that look the same and produce same symptoms.

I would advise you to visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for the clinical examination of the growth. You might also need to go for biopsy to verify if the swelling is harmless or cancerous.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
