Q: From time to time my face swells up. It's always just one side of my face on my cheek near my jaw. It almost looks likes the mumps. Is this an allergic reaction?

Some medicines can trigger angioedema, such as over-the-counter pain relievers (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, but usually not acetaminophen). In contrast, allergies to foods and things you breathe rarely cause swelling like this. The blood pressure drugs called ACE inhibitors can cause angioedema, but the swelling usually involves the tongue or sometimes the lips, but rarely other parts of the face.
