swollen left cheeck

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I need your help, my 8 .1/2 years old son had swollen cheek(left side only) for

the last couple of days. He does not have fever or pain and is eating, drinking

and sleeping well.

It worries me because even his eyelids are swollen. I took him to the doctor

yestreday and all he gave me antibiotics because he though it could be an

infection in the tooth and he recommended to take him to the dentist and I did.

The dentist could not find anything wrong and told me to give him the

antibiotics just in case.

I have not have giving him the antibiotic yet, waiting to see if he improves as

yesterday afternoon I gave him a cap. of vit. C 1000mg and the sweeling went

down a bit, but this morning when he woke up his cheeck was very swollen again.

I would appreciate any information you could give me.

Regards

Olga

I'm guessing there is no sign of a bug bite... and since the teeth checked out

okay... another reason for swelling are allergies.

Is that the side he sleeps on in bed?

Are you using a new detergent or does he have new sheets/pillows/etc?

Or is his pillow old and in need of replacing? Do you use " allergy cases " over

his pillows (under the pillow case)? Those can help with dust mite related

issues.

But since both the doctor and dentist recommended the antibiotic, I'd give it a

try.

It sounds like a swollen carotid (sp) gland. Try giving him a lemon slice or

something sour candies anything that will increase saliva products the duct

might be blocked.
