Sometimes ago, I had the same same. I thought that I'm allergic with the tablets which haves elements painkiller. Sorry for my English!!
Hi,
There are two things to look out here.
1) Allergic reaction to the drug that you had taken, probably Ibuprofen. You should stop using it now. They are commonly found in asthmatics.
2) The other is infection spreading from the tooth to the orbit (bone that surrounds eye).
You should go back to the dentist soon and check it and change the pain medication to Tramadol group.
Thank you for giving a chance to assist you.

Dear Dortor,
Currently, I couldn't feel pain in palet and I feel normal except the eyes look like drying and swelling.
Years ago, I had the same situations with tablets Cataflam when within days menstrual, the eyes were swelled. And sometimes ago, when I use tables in bleaching to descend lest (the doctor gave me). I thought I have some problems with tablets painkillers.
But I don't know how to prevent it will occur because I already talked the doctors about my situation but when I drunk I faces the problem again.
I want to ask the Doctor how I can talk the doctors in Viet Nam when I have treatments in future. And I protect myselft by using tablets Telfast 180mg (rarely). Thanks for your helping me.

You seems to have drug specific reaction to NSAID group of pain killers. You can mention the same to the doctor whom ever you visit new. Else you can create a 'personal health record' which mentions the allergies to the NSAIDs and the reaction that had happened.
I could figure that you have pain during menstruation and you take Cataflam for the pain. You should ask the treating doctor for any alternative to NSAIDs. There are alternatives like Acetaminophen (high dose), Tramadol and other low dose opioids that can help you.
Regards
