A member asked:

Is it normal for a temporal vein/ artery to swell for days and then disappear? this has happened over the last few months. any thoughts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor. If you had headache and fever, it is imperative that you see a doctor at the earliest. Wish you good health!
