You have to: find the CAUSE of the swelling. Infection, inflammation due to allergic reaction ETC Suggest that if this has been going on for more than 3-4 weeks you consult an ENT specialist Hope this is helpful! BTW blaming the "weather" is perhaps the most common but incorrect explanations for ....everything! Dr Z
