Swollen lymph nodes with swollen face are most commonly found in the head and neck. This condition is most often associated with inflammation of the head and face, so it is important to visit the hospital promptly. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor may perform blood tests to determine the level of white blood cells and inflammation indicators. If the swollen lymph nodes are accompanied by swelling of the face due to bacterial infection, it is most important to treat the swollen lymph nodes with antibacterial medication in a timely manner, rather than just making your own anti-swelling medication and putting it on your face at home, as this is ultimately due to inflammation caused by bacterial infection and edema of the tissues.
