What Causes Swollen Face After Having Advil?

Allergy likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
From the description it seems that you are having an allergic reaction. It can be due to advil or due to some environmental factors or something in the food.
Drug allergy is more likely to develop after taking 1-2 doses of the drug. Skin rashes, hives, itching, swelling and wheezing are commonly seen as a result of allergy.There is no way to prevent development of allergy.
Do not take next dose of Advil.
Try calamine medicated lotion.
Hydrocortisone cream (1%) is available without a prescription and may soothe many rashes.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction to medication (advil) 10 hours after taking it?
Less likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Not likely. Usually the drug related reactions start in 30 minutes- 2 hours. If the rashes appeared after 10 hours then it is less likely to be due to the medicine.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
