DD has decided she has swollen cheeks - I've been saying that for a week!

[KatyMac]

So what causes swollen cheeks in a 17yo?

No tooth ache, possible sinus issue but they are swollen round her cheek bones rather than by her nose

Any suggestions?

Wouldn't that be her neck? & would she has a rash?

I can't remember I was 3 when I had it

Does anyone know any more about mumps or swollen cheeks?

Thanks DSS

not mumps, that is low down. you would know it if you saw it!

quick google suggests sinuses behind cheekbones? who knew

That's what I thought - I'll get her to inhale vick steam

Thanks

They have really gone down today as she used loads of vick last night

great
