What is the cause for swollen temples on the side of head?

If you get swollen temples and slight headache when you eat, this is caused by the muscles being over excercised and potruding, like the arms of a body builder. They relax when you've finished eating. Yu'll have to be referred by your dentist to a dental specialist at your local hospital, who will relax the muscle by injecting Botox into your temples. If this method works for you, your temples will be back to normal in two weeks.
