Question
i awoke this morn to find that my face from the side of my nose all under my eye down my check is swollen. is this a concern?
Answer
it can be if you compressed that area while sleeping, and it would go away in an hour.
It can be from a sinus infection or a dental infection if it persists... that should be treated with antibiotics.
It can also be an allergic reaction.... an insect bite, or a reaction to a medication... common one is an ACE inhibitor BP medicine.
Hope this helps
