A member asked:

For about 1 week alone in the evenings after dinner i have felt a sensation of inflammation or swelling in the face on the left side. what could it be

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can examine: Assuming a teen is eating and drinking different things each day of the week, facial symptoms should not be directly due to the food. That means symptoms could be due to the eating process: biting, chewing, salivating, swallowing, etc... One not-so-rare problem is partial blockage of a salivary duct. That can cause some swelling in a saliva gland during eating because some saliva can't get out.
