Swelling and pain at the site of plate removal may be because of underlying infection. You may need to undergo CT scan of your facial bones to identify cause for your problems. Once identified treatment can be planned
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
