Causes of Unexplained Facial Swelling and Pain

Patient's Query

my friend literally woke up with a swollen right side of her face. she had experienced pain on her mouth. the dentist could find nothing wrong and prescribed an antibiotic with no results. her face remains swollen with no discomfot or mobility problems. what would have caused this.

Answered by Dr. Anju Methil

Your friend might suffer from sialade­nitis, an inflamed salivary gland condition. A blockage preve­nts smooth saliva flow, causing swelling and pain around the jaw. Since te­eth weren't proble­matic, glands could be the culprit. Warm compresse­s and water intake might ease­ discomfort by promoting saliva flow. However, if swelling pe­rsists, visiting a dermatologist is advisable for asse­ssment and potential treatme­nt.

Hello doctor. I am rohit bisht. I am 18 years old. Please suggest me how to recover and stop hair whitening

Male | 18

Hair going white with age or being genetic is a usual thing. Skin problems and tension also cause this. Do something for yourself if under stress; take deep breaths maybe start doing yoga. Have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals as they play a crucial role in preventing premature greying. If possible use plant-based dyes because they don’t contain harmful chemicals however; don’t forget to handle your hair gently while dying it so that you may not end up damaging it further.

I has a problem in my skin. It is soft and week how to solve it.

Male | 18

Soft and weak skin can signal the presence of multiple diseases such as Vitamin deficiencies and connective tissue disorders. I suggest you pay a visit to a good dermatologist who will examine your skin and conduct tests to come up with a diagnosis of the underlying cause. From the diagnosis, the dermatologist can propose suitable treatment to increase the health of your skin.

I have cut marks on hand can it be removed by laser treatment?

Male | 24

Laser the­rapy sometimes treats cut marks on hands. This targe­ts damaged skin, fading marks by promoting new growth. Results are­ best on fresh red marks. Howe­ver, older dee­p marks may not respond well. Re­member, laser tre­atment might not entirely re­move marks but could make them le­ss noticeable.

Doctor iam suffering from hard dandruff please help even i had long ache on my head

Male | 17

Stubborn dandruff may be caused by a fungus on your scalp that causes the skin cells to accumulate and become flaky. Scratching too much could also be the cause of a sore head. Use a medicated shampoo that treats the fungus and calms your scalp; additionally, wash your hair gently and frequently.
