HELLO & WELCOME TO Chat Doctor FORUM YOUR FATHER HAD Burred HOLE AND MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF LOCAL INJURY, HE GOT SWELLING ON FACE SERUM SODIUM LOWERING WILL CAUSE GENERALIZED SWELLING (ANASTASIA), AND PATIENT MAY BE IN UNCONSCIOUS STATE, SO HYPONATREMIA IS NOT LIKELY CAUSE OF FACIAL SWELLING. YOU HAVE ALSO NOT MENTIONED FACIAL SWELLING. SWELLING AROUND EYES IS MORE COMMON IN KIDNEY DISEASE. ANY MEDICINE Can't CAUSE LOCAL FACIAL SWELLING YOU SHOULD TAKE CONSULTATION WITH NEUROSURGEON AND PHYSICIAN TAKE CARE & HOPE FOR SPEEDY RECOVERY Chat Doctor.
