In this chapter:

A tumor is a lump that grows under the skin or inside the bone. It grows slowly but steadily, usually without any pain.

If the swelling does not get better after 5 days of antibiotics and heat treatment, it may be a tumor.

Treatment:

Do not waste any more medicine or any more time. A tumor may be cancer. Send for medical help. Surgery is needed to remove a tumor.
