Hi there, one side of my son's face has swelled up and he has a slight temperature. he is up to date with vaccinations. he is 4 years old. does he need antibiotics? the problem is he hates taking medication and always ends up spitting it out.

Determine Cause: The cause of the swelling needs to be determined. Face swelling with a slight temperature can indicate a tooth abscess. Please take him to a pediatric dentist for evaluation.
