thanks for your query. the swelling in the face and joint could be because of the cellulitis. consult a oral physician and general physician to rule out other causes of oedema in the face. consult an ophthalmologist for the eye problem. for the OSA
mandibular repositioning device and the tongue retaining device can be used. These devices open your airway by bringing your lower jaw or your tongue forward during sleep. other surgical modalities can also be done like tonsillectomy but they are associated with complications. take rediographs like lateral cephalogram to see the airway. consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and ENT surgeon for opinion and needful. i hope my answer will help you take care.
