What Causes Swollen Eyes And Forehead While On Noprilam DT And Areston?

Posted on Tue, 24 Jan 2017

Question: Hello, I have woken up with both eyes swollen and slight swelling on my forehead. I have a tooth infection and have been put on antibiotics, Noprilam DT and because of the severe pain was taking Areston 50mg but only one a night. It started on one eye last night and at first I thought I may have been bitten but waking up like this is alarming, thank you.

Will the answer be emailed to me?

Brief Answer:
It is a severe reaction to the drugs (Noprilam and Areston).

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to HCM,
It looks like a severe reaction to the drugs (Noprilam and Areston). Please take Omeprazole twice a day and Allegra once a day for 3-5 days. It should clear up
Stop Areston. But finish antibiotic course.
