### Patient: Hi Doctor, I have a problem with my mouth. It's painful and there's swelling around it. It's difficult to eat or talk properly.
### Doctor: It sounds like you might have cellulitis or an abscess in your mouth. As a first step, we need to perform a complete physical skin exam to determine the extent of the issue. Depending on the severity of the condition, we might need to perform an excision or incision and drainage. We might also need to do a biopsy to determine the underlying cause. Additionally, wound care management and a culture of the wound may be necessary. If the condition is more severe, we might have to consider other therapeutic procedures on your nose, mouth, and pharynx.
