Brief Answer:
Yes, ER please

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your daughter seems to have a severe allergic reaction. Vyvanse is not known to cause numbness or eye swelling. However headache and muscle aches can be there.

It is better to get a primary evaluation done at ER to determine the cause of facial numbness.
