I am retaining fluid on the left side of my face, swelling inside of left ear. Also under left chin, under my eye. I have had this for a while now. Going for a CT Scan soon. My doctor's have no idea what it is. Anyone???

Hi @susant75, this must be concerning. I moved your message to this existing discussion that seems similar to your issue of unilateral swelling of the face, ear and neck. See the previous posts here:
