[|Human|] good morning, my 87yo mother has woken up with left half of her face and lip swollen and dropped. Not painful but has been complaining of a small bubble like small lump in her hairline which gets very itchy and after scratching it disappears but it gives her a headache across forehead. Dr s all dismiss it as nothing. My dr yesterday burnt off a benign wartlike growth(old age)in the same area and this morning her face was swollen and dropped it has affected her speech as her lips are also affected. would appreciate some help,Cheers Rose.
[|AI|]  Hello, Her situation could be related to a Bells palsy or a small stroke. Can she close her left eye? If she can not close her left eye, this would be indicative of Bells palsy, which is a benign condition. In such case the swelling could be caused by a local ear infection. Otherwise, I would recommend performing a CT scan to investigate for possible stroke. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
