Ive done many HBO treatments and do not remember them helping with swelling. I can say they have helped with my healing, my jaw pain was intense before I went thru them. The HBO treatments have made me feel so much better, they healed me and even helped with my anemia, arthritis and fatigue.
Best of luck with everything your husband is going thru.
