Swelling on face after covid
My mom was recently diagonally with covid 19 with 22 ct score. She was hospitalised for a month and at home we are giving her medicines as prescribed by doc and oxygen therapy. Its been 10 days now . She has got overall swelling on her face. I want to know is it because of medications? Is there anything to worry about. I also feel that she has increased her weight. Her spo level without oxygen is above 88 - 90-93. She has no other complications.

The feeling what the face is not common especially after the covid infection.
The swelling usually occurs due to decrease in the hemoglobin and any two function of the kidney and any decreasing function of the heart and with some other abnormality in the body.
Try to consult your doctor immediately and go to the clinical examination.
