I had a right radical neck disection last Dec and 15% of my tongue removed in Sept/03. Everything was normal until out of the blue I woke up Sunday morning and the right side of my face was all swollen, there is a little more pain than usual around my chin and jaw but no redness.

I called my doctor Monday morning and he asked me to come in. He checked my neck and mouth and found nothing and said the swelling could be from sleeping too long on that side or from a bug bite which I know that neither are true. I sleep on that side all the time and there are no bugs around,it's too cold. He did not seem too concerned about it and said it will go away.

My face is still swollen and I'm wondering what it could be since your face doesn't swell up for no reason. Has anyone else experienced swelling like this?
