Question

Swelling and color changes may point to RSD. I sure hope this is not the case for you.

Check out our RSD forum:

You didn't have the nasal flu vaccine by any chance? It has caused inflammations of facial nerves as a side effect.

Also, and I am sorry to bring this up, but it is a serious consideration --is that the lymph is backing up and not draining from your face.
The main cause can be lymphoma. Also swollen lymph nodes from infection or Mono will do it too. Some cancers will cause a paraneoplastic neuropathy. I also hope this is not your case.
