A member asked:
I suffer from facial swelling esp in my cheeks and under my eyes presumably due to sinusitis. the swelling has not gone down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: It would be unusual to have both sides of the face swell from sinusitis. If there is associated redness, you must get checked for cellulitis which is a serious problem in the malar areas of the face due to proximity to the brain.
