Patients may also experience facial swelling, mainly due to neurotropism, and some patients may also experience pain in the eardrum before the disease. Patients with gingivitis or ear infections may also develop facial swelling. If the lesion invades the facial nerve, the mouth may also appear crooked, etc.
