Hi Pushpinder. If the doctor(s) who did these scans did find any abnormality as in a disease, they should have been able to spot some reason for this swelling. For example, it may be an enlarged cheek muscle one one side. This is not a disease or serious condition but can cause an abnormal enlargement on one side of the face which may have an aesthetic impact. Speak to your doctor about what exactly is causing this enlargement/swelling. Only then can you be directed towards the best treatment option.

Hi Manjit. Hopefully you have sought dental/medical attention for this matter. We cannot advise you on the choice of treatment. This decision is for you to make and should be based the information provided by your dentist and/or doctor. You also do not provide any specific information on what exactly is wrong with your wisdom teeth, for example whether it is impacted and so on. If you are unsatisfied with the dental/medical/dental care then consult with another doctor or dentist for a second opinion.

Hi Bree. Angioedema (most likely cause of the swelling) may not always be linked to an allergy to a specific substance despite it being an immune mediated reaction. Hopefully your doctor ran skin and blood tests for various common allergens just to be sure. Simply changing your diet is not going to pinpoint a cause because it is often not a dietary factor in adults. Whether your previous injection was the cause is debatable and it is highly advisable that you consult with an allergist about this possibility.

Note: 2 months prior to the swelling, i had my lips injected with juvaderm, could this be associated?

I’m fine now. I just need to avoid eating sea foods and Peanut Butter. Thanks HealthHype.

Hi Shirley. Hopefully the swelling has resolved by now. Sudden swelling with itching, irrespective of how mild, is often related to an allergy. Sometimes the cause of these sudden allergic reactions are difficult to identify. Take note of what could have been the trigger, especiall if it occurs again in the future and see a doctor. If the swelling has not yet gone then you should see a doctor ASAP. As you can see from the article above, there are many other possible causes of facial swelling. Your doctor will advise your accordingly.
