Swelling on one side of the chin may occur due to infection, inflammation, or sometimes enlarged lymph nodes. A PET scan is advised to see how active the swelling is and to check if the problem has spread to nearby areas. This test helps doctors understand the exact cause and plan the right treatment. Follow your doctor's advice and complete the scan for proper evaluation.
