Is A Swollen Cheek A Sign Of Conjunctivitis?
can a swollen cheek be a sign of conjuntivitis? My son has a small sty on his left eye that appeared yesterday. I have been cleaning it with a warm wet wash cloth and following with a warm compress for about 5 minutes. Today his right cheek is slightly swollen from lower eye to his jaw. Are the two symptoms of conjuntivitis or could it be something else?

Hello. I just read through your question.
The swelling of the shift would not be conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis would be a redness to the white of the eye with some kind of discharge from the eye. It is possible that the swelling and redness of the cheek could be a skin infection. I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment plan implemented.
