What Causes Spread Of Bruise From Neck To Chest After An Injury?
I received a sports injury in which I took a bad hit to my jaw. it became very swollen but I had no problems talking, eating or moving my jaw. It s been a couple of days now and my neck has become very bruised. This morning, I noticed what looks like bruising moving down my chest, almost like the excess blood from inside my neck is dripping down. Is this normal?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory such as Ibuprofen 400 mg to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. The symptoms will relieve on its own gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
