Thanks for the advice , a few more questions, I have recently been getting lots of pain bilateral and nerve pain on both sides. swelling has followed suit. I do notice nodules under the right and left jaw bone next to my neck. I get a crunchiness feeling and sound when I press on certain areas of the face area. The tightness has been very overwhelming almost like someone is putting my face in a vice. I have also lost nerve feeling in my face area and mouth and notice I can't sense hot items and can burn myself with out knowing. I think it is getting worse . Please HELP.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If you have swelling only in one half of the face, then the cause has to be local. It can be ear infection, dental infection, local cancer or even blockage of salivary glands. It can also be chronic sinusitis. The other possibility is a venous or vascular pooling due to clots or deep vein thrombosis. Please consult a vascular specialist and an oncologist as all other causes have been ruled out in your case.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
