My friend went out last night and was scratched my another girl on her face and arms. She has a swollen cheek and the inside of her mouth on that side has turned dark purple. She is having problems eating and drinking and is unable to open and close her mouth fully. She also said that her jaw now clicks where it didn t before. She is 19 years old.
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorRegarding that trauma in cheek region, she has got hematoma due to accumulation of blood. This has lead to bluish coloration of skin & it will resolve within 15 days. If she has pain then she can go for analgesic & antibiotic therapy. Regarding that clicking sound, we need to examine temporomandibular joint. Get it diagnosed by oral surgeon to get proper diagnosis & treatment. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
