Hi,

You may have a soft tissue infection of the face causing these symptoms and should be looked at by a physician to determine the need for possible antibiotic treatment. Send me a digital photo of the affected parts of your face and head and I would be happy to give you more opinions.

I would not delay getting to a doctor since the symptoms appear to be marching and any infection in the facial area could disseminate to other systems of the body including the central nervous and cardiovascular systems.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
Neurologist
