What Causes Swelling In Jaw And Neck?
My son has a really badly swollen jaw and neck, its not an abscessed tooth, the Dr. here did a needle biopsy, and an ultra sound, they don t know what it is. Can you tell me what the problem might be, as he can hardly speak or eat. He is on antibiotics and also steroids, no help. Please help!!!

Hi,
What dis the biopsy result say? Any blood tests? The diagnosis can be easily made with the biopsy. It must be be bacterial if they have given antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
