I had a CT Scan last week when my cheek was swoolen out and I looked like I was hording nuts for winter He went ahead and put me on antibiotics right away. I had ignored it when it flaired up the week before and didnt do anything about it...it went away...what was the point ...then it came back with a vengence all of a sudden while we ere eating at Olive Garden. Shari said she could almost see it swelling before her eyes...that night is when I went to ER and the next day pulled some strings and got into the ENT the next day. They said at todays appointment that it looked like it was smaller than last week but was still firm when touched. If it is not gone by Monday I am to call them again. The CT Scan I had showed no stones or blockages...at least nothing calcified! I still have a few days of antibiotics left
Weird that there is swelling, but no blockage. Have you tried taking Advil? It seems to work really well with mine and helps some with the swelling. Hopefully it's not just part of the virus or whatever it is. Good luck getting rid of it and we'll keep comparing till we both feel better. And then have a drink to celebrate!
Right now my sinuses are pretty stuffed up and my ear is blocked. When it was swollen and sore there was none of that. Strange.
