œdema is the swelling of tissue under the influence of unusual accumulation of serous liquid. It can manifest itself after 48 hours and last for 5 to 10 days. There’s no pain involved and it normally resorbs downwards from forehead to the lower eyelids. Applying ice packs and taking corticosteroids (Medrol) drastically reduces facial œdema.
