Swollen: This is concerning. Perhaps you have an infection or abscess that is impinging on the 7th nerve. This nerve, called the facial nerve, is important in controlling many muscles of facial movement, including muscles near the eye and mouth. Seek medical care immediately-- from the er or your primary doctor!
