Which Specialist Should I Consult For A Swollen Ear And Eye?
Brief Answer:
Dermatologist to see first if only skin is affected;photo is needed though
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I understand your concern.
From what you are describing, it might be a case of skin infection of the face (ear and eye area). A photo of the affected area is required to evaluate the changes myself.
However, as per your saying, if you are not having problems with your teeth as you have already seen a dentist, and, ceftin has not helped, then, further consultation is recommended with dermatologist first.
If you are also having ear issues like pain or dizziness, then, ENT specialist to consult.
Hope it answered to your question!
