If the face becomes swollen due to trauma, initial management should involve cold compresses to alleviate swelling. Subsequently, warm compresses may be applied to help reduce swelling further; heat application promotes blood circulation, thereby accelerating resolution of the edema. Additionally, under a physician’s guidance, oral medications that promote blood circulation and resolve stasis may be prescribed to aid in reducing swelling. Regarding diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, as they may trigger skin sensitivity and exacerbate the swelling.
