Suggest Treatment For Facial Edema And Temporal Area
My mother, 68, has been complaining for one week of pain in the temporal area, associated with some facial edema on the same side of the pain and a proeminent vein (maybe the temporal superficial vein, but I am not sure). She remembers to have suffered a minor trauma in the region some time before the symptoms began. What could it be?

Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query.
The trauma ( even minor) justifies these issues.
In one month or so, these problems should improve spontaneously.
Ibuprofen may help with symptoms.
If these problems last more than one month, temporal arteritis should be considered and evaluated further.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
