Swelling, or inflammation, is caused by a release of histamines in the body as an immune response to an allergen, antigen or physical injury to tissues of the body. This is usually accompanied by redness and itching as well as increased temperature of the affected area and pain. The best over the counter remedy is any antihistamine such as benadryl. This should solve your problem, unless the case is too severe, in which you will probably just have a stronger antihistamine prescribed to you. If benadryl doesn't work you should definitely see a doctor.

It could be number of things including as the previous respondant answered a swollen gland. You shuold see a physician ASAP. It may not be serious but only an MD or other health care provider can determine.

It usually doesn't.  It's inflammation, so it's certainly possible. but the nerve involved is usually deep and under a lot of bone, so swelling is not usually one of the symptoms.

The nerve associated with that area of your face is probably close enough to the surface that when you tap it you stimulate it and cause it to contract. As you age your skin thickness changes and fatty tissues change over the years so the nerves reaction could change over the years as well due to increased or decreased stimulation. Just a possibility!

Earlier I told you about thrombosis, but with the swollen tummy, I don't expect that so much. I expect you are just retaining water. This could be because of your menstral cycle. My tummy and my legs do that too.\n\nDon't worry about it too much!

Depending on what they would have left, you would experience pain or swelling. If it is something like gauze then it could also lead to infection, and with that could lead to much greater medical problems. See your Doc as soon as possible.

Throat swelling should never be taken lightly, since it can be a symptom of anaphylaxis. Not to mention your throat can close completely on you, cutting off your breathing.\n\nBoth are symptoms of systemic mast cell disease. Definitely consult a doctor.

Sounds like an allergic reaction.  Do you get itchy too?  Around the throat area?  If so, be very careful.  You could be getting hives and the swelling is dangerous!  I'd call a doctor and tell him/her your symptoms.

my right one gets swollen all the time- i went to my Dr. and she said its really nothing to worry about- sometimes its just a sign that your body is fighting something off- maybe a small cold\n\nit is technically called tonsilitis (which only means inflamation of the tonsil) Below is an explination

A small amout of swelling in the hands, feets, and other parts the body during the course od the day is normal.The swelling is usually so minute, that it is not noticeable. What is happening to you is, you might have gloves which if your hands were not swollen at all, they would slide on easy.When there is swelling in one of the hands, then, then glove for that hand would be slightly hard to pull on.Swelling tends to occur during warm weather, and during cold months, the hand may even shrink by a minute amount.

The side of your face is numb and swollen? Gee do ya think maybe seeing a fricken' doctor would be a good idea? \n\nYou're probably fine, but OTOH many predstory 'bugs' inject poisons that digest their prey, and there are several major nerves in the face quite close tot he surface. Leave it too long and you may never regain use of those muscles. A permanently half-paralyzed face. Wouldn't that be fun?\n\nI'm guessing it was an assasin bug. But go and see a fricken' doctor.

any allergic reaction leads to swelling of skin (especially the area of contact) and airway constriction. redness and itchiness are signs also.

First, can you scratch the whiteness off?  Swollen glands usually mean an infection.  Our glands basically clean our bodies of bacteria, when they are overwhelmed, they get swollen.\n\nAs for thrush, this is possible, but you will need a mouth rinse to rid your self of the infection.  i suggest you see your doctor.

Glands become inflamed - White bl. cells are crowding the area to fight infection, and they swell up, hence, the soreness.

try washing ur face with warm water before going 2 bed at night.And include lots of pepper in ur diet.That will stop the swelling.
