Not normal: Swelling face is not normal or healthy, and should be examined for its cause carefully. It is good that your md is checking why you are having swelling. A visit to a dentist may reveal serious infection from tooth also. If you have not had an exam w/ x-rays in the last 6 mo, it's also wise to return to your dentist as well. E.G., upper canine/premolar infection often causes under-eye puffiness.

Need more info: Is the physician who is treating you an ear, nose ; throat specialist? If yes then return to him/her because there is more to be done. If not then consult with one.
