Common questions

Note symptom duration, fever, facial pain, discharge, allergies, dental problems and any medicines already used. This helps a clinician distinguish common causes.

Safer next steps

Rest, fluids and avoiding smoke or known irritants may help comfort. Use only labelled products and professional advice for children, pregnancy or chronic conditions.

When to seek care

Get urgent medical help for swelling around the eyes, vision changes, severe headache, confusion, stiff neck or very high fever.
