Whats wrong!!?? It's bothering me!?!


Question: I usually have a very narrow face and you can clearly see my jawbone..
But for the past week my cheeks look much bigger and it's making my face puffy.
I had started my period on Monday and I thought that it was maybe bloating but I thought that you stop bloating once you get over with your period?
Anyway, at the moment I have a very bad cold and I'm thinking it's turning into a sinus infection. I was wondering if that could be it?

Probably a sinus infection. You have a sinus cavity located under your eyes and down the side of your nose. Above your cheek bone. If that is where you are swelled, then it's sinus drainage into the sinus cavity. If you lightly tap the area, you may feel a little soreness. You also have sinus cavities above your eyebrows and toward bridge of your nose.

youll be fine just tough it out for a few days

It could be allergies or sinus infections.

Since you are ill it is probably due to that. Wait until you are feeling better and see if the puffiness goes away.

Have you been doing any drugs>?

My face gets puffy the week of my period

You may actually have an allergy, and not a cold at all they sometimes have similar symptoms and puffiness is allergy related.

You might have cushings

Mumps.

It probably is your cold. If your sinuses are swollen, you should think about going to the doctor because you might have an infection.
