What Causes Sudden Swelling On Face?

Hi, Woke up this morning to find tender swelling both sides of my face where my sideburns are, looks like my jawline widened, also feel a bit lethargic but no obvious fever but have felt tired more than usual over last couple of days, just put it down to over doing excercise, I suspect mumps as i never got it as a child. I have no sore throat or dry mouth. Thanks

Hello and thank you for your question.
It could be mumps or some sort of allergic reaction. If you develop fevers or difficulty swallowing see a doctor right away.
