What Causes Swelling On Face?
My husband, 29, went to the doctor today for his face being swollen, to which i assumed was from the cold he s been fighting for a couple of days. He told me the doctor felt his glands and said something along the lines of she had not seen such swollen glands only on stroke patients. His father died late 50s early 60s from a stroke. Makes me concerned, suggestions?
