Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Possibility of allergic inflammation is more in your case.
Your bulgeria visit might be the cause for this allergy.
Change in environment can cause allergy and your symptoms like cough (not improving with routine drugs) and cheek bone swelling with eyelid swelling etc are seen allergy.
So get done eosinophil count and serum total IgE level.
If these are raised than allergic etiology is confirmed.
You will be beniftted by combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs.
So consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
