What Causes Left Sided Swelling On The Face And Scalp?
I have swelling and sensitivity on the left side of my face and scalp. It started with a mild sore throat on my left side, followed by mild pain in the cartilage of my left ear and ear canal. Now my left ear cartilage is swollen and sensitive to touch, as is the left side of my scalp.

Hi,
It may be cellulitis or scalp fungal infection or herpes zoster of the scalp or chondritis of left ear with otitis externa. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use tablet Tramadol and Paracetamol. Use cold and warm compression, need to start antibiotics after your physician consultation.
Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
