Dear Patient,
Facial asymmetry with unilateral swelling persisting for 2-3 years requires a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying cause. Possible etiologies include:
- Salivary gland disorders(e.g., parotid gland enlargement)
- Dental or jaw-related issues (e.g., abscess, TMJ dysfunction)
- Lymphatic or vascular abnormalities
- Neuromuscular conditions (e.g., Bell’s palsy, hemifacial hypertrophy)
- Rare causes(e.g., tumors, autoimmune conditions)
Next Steps:
1. Clinical Examination: Assessment of swelling, texture, tenderness, and associated symptoms.
2. Imaging: Ultrasound or MRI of the face/neck to visualize soft tissues.
3. Lab Tests: Blood work to rule out infections/inflammatory markers.
Given the chronicity, I strongly recommend a face-to-face consultationfor accurate diagnosis and tailored management. Delaying evaluation may complicate treatment.
