Hi thanks for asking question.

Facial swelling could be by heart failure like case especially right sided.Measure your blood pressure and ECG Is advisable.

Second do your serum protein estimation.
If hypoproteinemia is present then oncotic pressure low and edema can occur.

Do your thyroid profile also to rule out possibility of hypothyroidism .

Liver problem can lead swelling ..But it us usually in advance stage.Cirrhosis or chronic liver disease can lead edema.USG will be helpful.

If still swelling present and no cause identifiable then detail history and physical examination done to do further work up.

Take care.

Wish you good health..
