What Causes Swelling Of Cheeks After Having Wine?

Hello, I recently had a couple of glasses of wine (literally two lol) and woke up the next morning with sore cheeks, similar to what you might experience after smiling a lot. I guess that sounds silly, but I just thought it was odd. I do experience tmj from grinding my teeth at night, but this does not feel similar to that kind of pain. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling of cheeks after having wine. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are due to allergic reaction due to wine . I would suggest you to take bendryl twice a day , drink plenty of water to remove it from the system as soon as possible and do light exercises . If condition doesn't get better then consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order few test to rule out other reasons . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants or may refer you to allergy specialist .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
