Facial swelling with continuous pain and intermittent fever for 20 days is not normal and most likely suggests a serious infection, such as a dental abscess or deep skin infection like Cellulitis, especially since it is worsening and not responding to painkillers. This requires urgent medical attention. You should see a doctor or dentist as soon as possible, as treatment may need antibiotics, drainage of any pus, and treatment of the underlying cause (such as a tooth problem). Do not rely only on painkillers, as they only mask symptoms and allow the infection to spread. Seek immediate care if swelling spreads rapidly, you develop a high fever, difficulty opening the mouth, swallowing, or breathing, as these can be signs of a serious complication.
