Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards allergic reaction. The allergic reaction occur due to some food or medication .

I would suggest you to :-

- To give cold compresses to affected area 2-3 times a day .

- Take over the counter anti allergic drug like benadryl or zyrtec.

- Avoid taking food like nuts or sea foods .

Consult dermatologist for proper examination for find out exact cause . Doctor may order allergy specific test to find out what exactly causing allergy.

Also consult dentist for examination .Doctor may order x-ray to find out if there is abscess due to infection in tooth .

Dentist may prescribe antibiotics , perform root canal after antibiotics course or may extract tooth.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
