Question
What could be the reasons for a child’s chin swelling? Do they need medical treatment? How long will it take to see improvement after treatment?
Answer
A swelling on a child’s chin could be due to a “cyst” or “lipoma.” If the lump continues to grow, it may require surgical removal and a pathological examination to determine its nature. It is advisable to consult with an surgeon as soon as possible. Before seeking medical attention, parents can observe whether the lump is growing larger or consider if it might be due to mosquito bites. During this period, it is important to keep the affected area clean and encourage the child to consume more fruits and vegetables.
