What Causes Swelling In The Mouth Post Intake Of Medication?
Question: after taking two tablets, this morning my mouth and cheek area are swollen, what has happened?
Brief Answer:
Hello. This is an allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Hello. You didn't say what the tablets were you took, but this is an allergic reaction, either to those tablets, or to something else.
You can try taking benedryl or Claritin but if that doesn't clear this up, or if you begin to wheeze or have trouble swallowing you'd need to see a doctor right away.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
