What Causes Swelling And Redness Near The Cheek And Under The Eyes?

My 4.5 yr old daughters cheek and under eye are visibly red and swollen. No clue what could cause this, although she DID have a filling done at a dental appointment over the last week (5 days ago now). dentist said there was no infection when he completed the filling. She shows no sign of a bite or any sores inside of her mouth.

Hello,

Most probably it is due to underlying local inflammation.

Consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.

Most probably she will improve with antibiotics.

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