A member asked:

What would cause facial swelling and numbness on left side of face..my mom is stressed out .this comes and goes wakes up with it at times?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Facial Swelling: This can be swelling of the parotid gland, a skin type allergy, a sensitivity from some prior trauma. The list of skin conditions is huge! Needs a complete evaluation. You could try a very low dose of antihistamine to see if that helps.
