See ENT MD ASAP: While this may be dental in nature, the fact this infection has spread to her face is an emergency. She must be admitted for further testing and iv antibiotics. Do not wait, go to an emergency room that has an ear-nose-throat surgeon to be admitted. Do not take no for an answer.

Infection: Your mother appears to have a major infection that has traveled far from her mouth. The extent of the infection requires immediate medical care. Take her to an emergency room.
