Hello, I have read your question and understand your concern.
Swollen face may be due to various reasons. The most worrisome is Nephrotic Syndrome which can result in peri orbital puffiness, especially in mornings after getting up from sleep. You should send his urine in Laboratory for proteinuria.
Hope your query has been answered.
