Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have some Hypersensitivity Reaction to the denture base material [ material used to make the denture plate] and due to the allergic reaction there is swelling over face..
Most commonly the allergic reaction is seen with the dye material present in the denture resins..
You should avoid wearing the denture and immediately consult a dentist and get evaluated for whether it is allergic reaction or something else like Oral infection, denture induced injury and inflammation or any remaining root pieces in the jaw which are flaring up..
Along with it you should get a Patch test done to rule out for allergic reaction..
In case of allergic reaction replacing the denture resin material can help while for other conditions treatment of the underlying cause can resolve the swelling..

As of now stop wearing the denture and take Allegra 60 mg twice a day, but do not wait for long to consult your dentist..

Hope this information helps..
