Hai,

Welcome to Healthcaremagic,

I have gone through your query and i understand your concern. If you are not having any breathing problems, dizziness, anxiety, or palpitaion, you may not worry. It should disappear on its own.


Do you have any other symptoms like sneezing, pain in the affected area or redness of the conjunctiva of the eye? Had you taken any new medicine recently? Swelling of face can occur in many conditions like an allergy or infection.

In my opinion, you can wait for a couple of days and observe. Please keep in touch with a doctor to approach in case of emergency.

I hope your query is answered.
Please feel free to express your concerns with us.

Wish you good health.
