Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since our face comprises a small area, any addition will lead to some form of swelling. 4 months is a long time to still experience intense pain and discomfort. Your symptoms need review and intervention by the concerned doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
