Patient discussion about swell can.

Q. I have neck pain in the center of my neck. It is also swollen what can it be? I am a 33 secretary and i am usually very healthy. in the past few weeks i am feeling a large swelling in my neck. It is hot and painful, but touching it doesn't make the pain worse. what can it be?

A. Neck swelling can be either from thyroid source or from inflamation of the skin due to infection. to distinguish between them you can check if the swelling is connected to the thyroid or not. Try to swallow. If the swelling is moving - its a thyroid swelling. elsewhere its a cutaneous issue.

Q. What can cause an angioedema on 15 year old girl? I’ve been getting angioedema signs on my left arm for the past few weeks, not severe but it itches and sure don’t help my low-as-it-is self esteem…

A. The following may cause angioedema -

Animal dander
Certain medications (drug allergy)
Emotional stress
Exposure to water, sunlight, cold or heat
Foods (such as berries, shellfish, nuts, eggs, milk, other)
Insect bites
Pollen

Hives or angioedema may also occur after an illness or infection.
Try to see if you were exposed to any of this and report it to your Dr.

Q. My son's face and feet are very swollen when he wakes up. What is it? Can it infect my other boy? My 12 years old son's face and feet are very swollen when he wakes up. I saw it for the first time last week. He feels well and didn't notice anything by himself. Is it normal? I too have a swollen face when I wake up after sleeping with my face on the pillow but my legs are never swollen. Another issue is that this boy sleeps in the same room with his 9 year old brother. Can he infect his brother? Do I need to separate them?

A. Swelling issues can be normal but might be pathologic. the major pathological issues that can cause it are autoimmune and thus not infections.
You should go and seek professional help, but unless the situation is getting worse or your son start develops another symptoms I advise you not to rush to the GP and definitely not to separate the kids.
