i am not sure about this but i am somewhat familiar with hpv but i also know there is not a test to find out a person "status". health problems related to hpv include genital warts and cervical cancer. but in most cases hpv goes away on their own before causing any health problems. but hpv can cause cancers in the back of the throat most commonly in the base of the tonque and tonsils in the area as the oropharynx. these cancers are orophayngeal cancers. which can cause swelling in the mouth & jaw. go back to your doctor have him look at your jawline and see if it is because of the hpv and if it isn't then see if it has something to do with your mouth or teeth i don't know since i have not looked at it your doctor could be your best bet as for as a treatment. only go to the er if the pain gets worse and if the pain goes elsewhere say neck shoulders back etc. otherwise go back to your doctor who diagnoised you with the hpv maybe he can make some tests to see what is causing the swollen jaw. i do hope you get to feeling better. please keep us informed of your progress and what you decide to do. and i do hope you get to feeling better. thank you.
woke up this morning with a large swollen area on the left side of my chin jaw line. . it is red swollen and hurting. i have used a hot compress on it but it seems to worsen the pain. it is warm to the touch and continues to ache more with time. i am nauseated (but the nausea may also be a side effect from the synthrouid that i take). has anyone else experienced this? i was diagnosed with hpv last year.
