What Causes Congestion And Swelling On The Face?
Hi,
I am a 54 year old woman, normal weight and very health conscious. I have been under a lot of stress, as caregiver. I have had some ongoing dental issues (caused by periodontal issues.)
I have (believe it or not) a slightly swollen face, with sinus congestion, that has lasted a number of years. #14 tooth was extracted, but congestion/swelling there prior did not go away. Periodically, I have nasal discharge. I need to get this imaged.
However, more recently, a molar broke and I developed a "stye" on the eye. It is also red, on the lower eyelid. I am concerned about the eye problem....wondering if it could be steming from either of othe toot situations or related to the brain. Also, on the side where the slight facial swelling is, I have lost some hair on the crown of my head.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the broken sometimes infection and pus developed from an infected tooth may spread to the surrounding tissue, take tab alomox c TDS and tab ibugesic plus TDS, if the tooth is badly carious get it removed and pus drained, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
