Left Side Of Face Started Swelling Under Ear And Feels Numb

About an hour ago my left side of my face started to swell, especially under my ear. Do not feel any pain just a numb feeling and very hot face. The sweeling is very noticeable and feels weird also numb. I can t think of anything I did that was different. It is such an odd feeling.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, your given history is suggestive of some infection of parotid gland the viral infection is just likely weight for some days if this is viral infection then this would show the exact clinical sign and symptoms mean while this could be managed with the "Tab Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen three times in day" in my opinion you need to get it examine if the swelling increased, hope this information helps you, take care and have good day.
