Hi
Such Swellings over the face can point towards a diagnosis of cellulitis.
See this can present basically as red warm and painful areas in the skin.
There is usually associated fever too.
Since such swellings over the face are surely a cause of concern, I would advise you to see a doctor as soon as possible and start adequate treatment for the same.
Oral antibiotics are required and they have to be started as soon as possible so as to control the infection at the earliest.
