Swollen below right ear
When I woke up this morning, I realized that it is swollen just below the right ear, causing my cheeks to puff out.
I'm not hurt. My mouth is hard to open and I have trouble chewing. However, gulping is not a problem.
I have no fever, headache, dental problems, or throat problems.
Can you please suggest to get some relief ?
Can I gurgle (betadine) to get some quick relief? Can I apply a hot compress to the swollen area to ease pain?
