I think I got hematoma on my neck which affects chin swelling. My doctor asks me to wait for another 2-3 weeks when I asked about it early this month. He did not clarify what it is while telling me this is a part of healing process. I am worried. Many thoughts comes and goes including what if there is something going on inside of my neck?
