This morning left side of face has swollen, in the afternoon I saw surgeon who changed bandage. Explained I can't hear out of left ear & severe pain in throat on same side from lobe to collar bone, area feels solid and tight and even light touch causes excessive pain this area is also red. Can't open mouth fully properly to eat as very painful, even slightly turning my head either way causes much pain.
