What Causes Fatigue, Fever, Headache And Swelling In The Face?
Question: My right side of my face is hurting including my teeth and my head hurts, I feel weak. I don't seem to have a fever 99.0 is what the ear scan shows. My body is shaking and I had to leave work the last two days due to inability to do my job properly. There is a bit of puffiness on that side of my face.
Brief Answer:
Most likely infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
It is probably an infection that is causing your symptoms.
It may be teeth abscess, middle ear infection, or throat infection as well.
Even if you didn't experienced high temperatures, 99 F is considered as subfebrile one, so this explains the infection as the most possible cause of your concerns.
However, your situation needs a medical evaluation and probably further tests to confirm or exclude it.
These will be ordered according to clinical findings after the tomorrow examination.
In mean time I suggest you to use ibuprofen 400 mg for example to ease your symptoms.
If you will experience high fever in incoming hours, I suggest you to be present at your nearest ER.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
