Swelling by jaw
I have no food allergies, but when I eat grapes, oranges or strawberries and chew on the left side of my mouth near the back of my jaw, I'll sometimes get a swelling that distorts my face and subsides in about an hour.
I'll feel it start to happen, then even if I immediately stop chewing, the area behind my jaw and under my earlobe begins to swell and harden. The area becomes slightly red, and is very noticeable.
This doesn't hurt, and has only happened a half dozen times in the last 5 years or so. It never happened to me as a child at all. Anyone else ever have this happen?
