What should I do if my face is swollen when I wake up in the morning?



Swelling of face after getting up may be caused by physiological factors, or it may be caused by kidney disease or allergy and other conditions. Different causes, different treatments, including adjusting lifestyle habits, appropriate exercise, and applying medication when necessary, are described below:

1. Adjustment of living habits: If the patient eats heavy oil and salt food and lives an irregular life, it will easily lead to edema. In this case, we should pay attention to the light diet, avoid high oil and salt food intake, you can eat more red beans, barley and other foods, to accelerate the elimination of water in the body. Early to bed and early to rise, regular work and rest, to ensure sufficient sleep.

2. Appropriate exercise: Exercise will promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of sweat, so that the body’s water will not stagnate too much and lead to edema.

3. Application of medication: If the edema is caused by kidney diseases, such as nephritis, hypoproteinemia or proteinuria, you should take some cephalosporin, penicillin or macrolide antibiotics for treatment under medical advice. If it is caused by allergy, it can be detached from the allergen and stop using cosmetics, and if necessary, take loratadine for symptomatic treatment.

When edema is obvious, if the adjustment of lifestyle habits and appropriate exercise is not obvious, we should go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
