My boyfriend started with a pimple on his upper lip, cut the head off while shaving. We then worked in the yard so dirt got in it. His face began swelling, especially his upper lip and the dr said it was a staff (sp) infection. It didn't get better after 4 days on antibiotics so went to a specialist. He said the same thing and changed medicine. His face continued to swell everywhere below his eyes. On Saturday put him in the hospital and now have a new specialist that deals in infectious and unusual diseases. He has no clue so he did ultrasound, nothing and a culture. Today he put a needle in the ulcer, which is what he calls it, and drew out fluids. OUCH! If this doesn't show anything we will do a biopsy. He has trouble talking because of the swelling on his upper lip and the pain in his head is unreal. He doesn't seem to be getting ANY better and I'm very frustrated and thought someone might have an idea or suggestion for me. Thanks for any help.
