Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The clinical symptoms described by you are suggestive of a local infection affecting the nose, around the eyes, and nearby regions.
In view of the pain and swelling, the infection is likely to be a bacterial infection.
As of now, the treatment would be with antibiotics and analgesics such as ibuprofen.
She should be seen by an XXXXXXX Medicine physician to plan out the treatment and investigations.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
