Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain the symptoms of swelling over face and under the ear along with increased white blood cell count is indicative of infection and is most probably due to infection in the Parotid salivary gland that is a major salivary gland..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician or an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and examination of reports will help in making a correct diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
In case of infection oral as well as injectable antibiotics along with intravenous fluids and steroids can be advised to you for complete relief..
As of now you can do cool compresses over swelling and take a soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
