Left side of face is swellin in front of ear.no pain at site but head aches more often and lasting longer.

Face swelling: The area of the face just in front of the ear is the area of the parotid gland. While a physical examination is certainly necessary to make any diagnosis, swelling and inflammation of the parotid gland may cause this symptom. I suggest that you be evaluated by your family physician.
