Hi dear ,
Welcome to HCM,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in the face. Which can occur due inflamed and swollen tissues and swelling is also due to accumulation of inflammatory exudate in the area. The symptoms can also occur due to allergic reaction or dental cyst. You need not to worry as the swelling will resolve gradually. You can continue taking anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen to reduce inflammation and swelling. You can also continue doing cool compresses over the face and eye. If there is bruising that is a sigh of ruptured blood vessels you can apply Thrombophob gel over the face but keep away from eye. In case if the swelling does not resolve or you get increase in symptoms consult a General Physician ,who may also refer you to dentist.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
