Face swelling danger: With this pattern, if you have not had an injury, you could have an infection coming either from a tooth or sinus now involving the overlying skin. This is not a safe situation, and you should be seen today if possible. Infections can spread rapidly and you probably need to be on antibiotics. Good luck!
