Still struggling with my swollen jawline

[Cb1963]

So last Thursday i attended A&E and had a few tests done including blood and a CT SCAN done with contrasting dye, the lump is still with me and gets bigger every time I eat, I've now received notification for a hospital appointment at the beginning of December,I was given 5 days of antibiotics and I'm unsure why they did this, was this some sort of a placebo effect and wasn't told much about this lump, obviously I've had people on here saying it's a swollen saliva gland, but my tongue " twinges " occasionally and a slight stabbing pain in my throat it will be two weeks on Saturday I first noticed this, so I presume that the hospital got enough information from the various tests, and I've seen numerous adverts on television up here only go to hospital if your condition is life threatening, of course I didn't want to waste any time but if you feel you've got something to get advice on ,DON'T always rely on the chemist, or the doctors receptionist, or even NHS 111 , get yourself to hospital and get yourself listed for treatment further down the line, I wouldn't normally go this way but your body let's you know, its imperative to get yourself checked out!!!

I agree with your message 100%. We have to advocate for ourselves. The health care system is very busy world wide but we can't just sit home and do nothing.

I commend you for pushing the system and getting the attention you need.

Please keep us posted on how this goes.

Thinking of you

Sending you prayers. Salivary gland sounds plausible. Do you like sour foods or candies? Ask the doc as I’ve heard that recommended before to move saliva gland lumps.
