Hi mr samuel, i have a question which i tried to answer myself but i couldnt find any explanation and im worried. For about 4 days ago a big vein on my intern chin is inflammated and hurts me a lot and makes impossible the procedure of eating. I tried with salt to clean that area and drinking tea but i see no result at all... A week ago i also extracted a tooth so it might be from that the reason happen to me this?
Hi as per of your case history it suggests to me that, the big vein on inner side of the chin may also be a DILATED DUCT of the Salivary gland, or a Muscle, or it may be engorged and dilated lingual veins which are present on underside of the tongue. The first and second probability seems to have more chances, as it is not exactly clear from the site that you have mentioned in the case history.  In case of salivary duct enlargement it is because of salivary duct stone blocking the path of the saliva secretion, which usually causes pain on times of having food. The second possibility (commoner), may be a muscle, which may be caused by Pinching trauma of Forceps which are used for extractions.  Lastly engorged vein underneath the tongue are very rarely the cause for such discomfort. The first and second probability can be ascertained by a dentist only. So it is advisable to see the doctor/ dentist for his opinion.
