Can a person experience temporary swelling around the jaw? That subsided, and now I feel swollen and tender on my left cheekbone. Is this a normal reaction to using Zicam Nasal Swabs? Symptoms on left cheekbone started yesterday. Still there. Concerned, Bonnie
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling over the jaw can be secondary to a tooth or gum infection leading to cellulitis. The other possible cause can be an allergic reaction leading to angioneurotic edema. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis. I hope I have answered your query, take care.
