hi,
welcome to health care magic family,
your husband has mild swelling on face,as it was not before and not taking any medicine,it is more likely due to painting doing in rooms.Chemicals in paint can cause allergy to body.
stop painting and within few days swelling will go,and after several days if it persists you may go for blood test for allergy or toxicity of paint chemicals in the blood.
