Can 1 sided facial swelling be caused by sinus issues. left notril plugged up last night, right cheek swelling a bit.i saw the dentist 4 months ago.

Probably not sinus: A swelling in your cheek is most likely a dental issue. Have your dentist re-examine those maxillary teeth.

See your doctor: There are several possible causes of this type of swelling: allergic reaction, sinusitis, cellulitis or dental infection. See your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
