What Are The Causes And Remedies Of Face Swelling ?
I have a friend whose husband's face has been swelling. A few weeks ago he had the left side of his forehead swollen and puffy and now it is his forehead and cheek. He doesn't want to go to the doctor and she is really worried about him. Could this be allergies or something worse?

Hi,
Allergy to medication can be a cause,it can be due kidney pathology like nephrotic or nephritic syndrome which presents with swelling in face,to rule out this condition I generally do routine and microscopic urine analysis,serum protein, kft and lft will also be needed to come to certain diagnosis,explain him the possible causes and
visit physician and get it evaluated,
Hope this information helps
