I have been sick for a week now, a cough, stuffy nose, and a sore throat early but when I woke up this morning my right side of my face was puffy from my jaw line down to my apple. I can't eat anything without a horrible pain. What is wrong??

While I am not one to say " Go to the Doctor" I am saying to you
"Go to the Doctor". It sounds like the lymph node in your neck is swollen, infected, whatever.
It sounds like a cold, but maybe getting worse. Have you used
Vicks Vaporub on your chest or your nasal area to help the congestion and the cough?? It works VERY well to break up the cough and congestion.
I am a Grandmother with a lifetime of experience, give the Vicks a try over night and see if things aren't better in the morning.

You might have a serious infection which could be anything from a serious sinus infection/inflammation, upper respiratory tract infection etc. You might want to see a doctor as soon as you can so that you can get a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

when my daughter had puffy glands there, I took her to the emergency room. We found out that she had Mono, which is nothing to mess around with. It can become very serious. You need to see a doctor but not neccessarily go to ER. Rest and get fluids!
