Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The swelling in the face can be because of the sinus infection. Nothing too be panic, Consult an ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and clavulnic acid combination(if you are not allergic). Take steam inhalation. The other possible cause for swelling in the face can be infection in the teeth. So you need to consult an oral physician and get your oral cavity examined.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
