You may occasionally wake up with a swollen, puffy face. This could happen as a result of pressure being placed on your face while sleeping. However, a swollen, puffy face can also arise from a facial injury or indicate an underlying medical condition. There are multiple causes to name a few:
- Allergic conjunctivitis
- Preeclampsia
- Cellulitis
- Anaphylaxis
- Drug allergy
- Angioedema
- Actinomycosis
- Broken nose
- External eyelid stye
- Sinusitis
I would advise you to visit the ER so that you can be examined and undergo the necessary investigations to rule out any underlying problems and have it treated accordingly.
