What Causes Swelling In Jaw While Treating Viral Infection?

Nothing to be alarmed;recommend to go to ER evaluation&treatment....
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I have gone through your medical history and am sorry for the situation you are in.
I have also gone through the photo you provided and I admit, I was not able to see the swelling in details. There are many factors for this, including :
- infected/inflammed jaw lymph-nodes
- bad teeth
- oral infection
most probably precipitated by viral infection.
Although you do not feel any pain, if I was your caring doctor would advise to go to ER for immediate evaluation and proper treatment.
You are also reporting to be going through acute osteoarthritis and narcolepsy for which you are taking lots of meds. Here I need to stop as I want to know the names of meds you taking to exclude interactions.
Hope it answered to your query!

None of the meds can cause a rapid swelling of left jaw..
Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,
Sorry for the late reply due to XXXXXXX clinical overload during these holidays.
Hope the swelling is getting better.
Now, none of the meds you are taking can cause the swelling it appeared on the left side of your jaw. It could be possibly related to any local infection (lymph nodes) or teeth.
As it appeared overnight, I advise to get a further consultation with a doctor. If you cannot see your doctor, should go to ER.
Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Albana
