swelling

[stannny]

I asked on here about a soft swelling on the thyroid and was grateful for the helpful replies. I have now an ever growing swelling under my chin with a rash on my neck the swelling is hot and is tingling and prickly i woke up with it yesterday morning and it is growing, Does anyone know if its connected to the thyroid? I have no problems swallowing or pain but it is worrying me it looks bad and i don't want to go out its that big. I had blood test on Monday and an appointment to see doc next Monday should i try to see doc sooner.

Hi Have you had an ultra sound? First thing for anything unusual, so important. Also what are your TSH, T4 and Free t3 with essential ranges.Post if llike

Good, It probably is fine, but the only way of being sure.

Best wishes,

I would definitely se the doctor before then if it's getting worse that quickly. I hope you get some answers and treatment soon

Hi No joy at getting an earlier appointment. I will try again in the morning. Thank you for the advice.

Those are salivary glands under chin. I wonder if you have a stone blocking the gland.

Hi Heloise Thank you for your input i have thought about this as my sister had a blocked salivary gland she was scheduled for an op but the stone came away under her tongue and the swelling went, My swelling is now almost gone but i still have a rash, I will ask the doctor on Monday what he thinks.
