Swollen face is due to usage of steroids during the treatment of covid.
The dosage of the steroid has to be tapered (reduced in dose ) accordingly and stopped all of a sudden otherwise it has other complications
Consult your doctor from whom you have taken treatment previously or consult another doctor for further queries .
