‘
‘
My question is, is it ok to wait until tomorrow afternoon to go to the doctor being that my face is starting to swell or should I go to the ER
Brief Answer:
Visit ER for antibiotics prescription, supportive anti inflammatory drugs.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor services.
I have read your query and here is my advise.
* As per my surgical experience, the conditions sounds to be related to spreading of
infection below the skin layers in terms of cellulitis of the facial tissue.
That requires immediate care at ER rather than waiting till tomorrow afternoon.
* Current condition requires antibiotic assistance in terms of oral formulations or
intravenous preparations and supportive care of anti inflammatory medicines to halt
the progress of infection and prevent further damage to tissues.
Wish you best recovery.
Would like to have follow up at your convenience.
Regards.
