Swelling on the chin

Due to external environmental stimuli and other reasons, some heat symptoms will occur inside the human body. It is a phenomenon of getting angry, which will cause some complications in the human body, such as toothache, sore throat, etc. Complications can cause chin swelling, which is mainly caused by swelling of the lymph nodes around the chin. In life, when people find that their chin is swollen due to heat, they should find out the cause in time and then treat it symptomatically. A detailed introduction to what causes swelling on the chin.

Swollen lymph nodes are mostly caused by inflammation of the body or a temporary decline in physical fitness, such as colds, rhinitis, pharyngitis, getting angry, fatigue, etc. The affected area will develop swollen lymph nodes within a few days, with discomfort such as tenderness, slight pain, and swelling. The painful feeling tends to disappear after a few days. In severe cases, the lump is larger, and the inflammation causes a low-grade fever and general discomfort. This disease should be included in the categories of "treating sores" and "hip and abdominal abscesses" in traditional Chinese medicine. The disease is caused by heat accumulation in the internal organs, followed by infection with wind evil through trauma, which leads to qi stagnation, blood stasis, and condensation of fire poison; or by improper diet, which causes the spleen to fail to function properly, allowing water and dampness to accumulate in the skin and muscles, turning into heat, and damaging the blood vessels, causing the disease. If not treated in time, abscesses may form, so early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment are the key to this disease.

For swollen chin lymph nodes caused by heat, the main focus is to actively treat the primary lesion. Pay attention to rest, and use hot compresses and external medications for local treatment. The diet should be light, delicious and easy to digest, and eat more foods that clear away heat and detoxify.
