Can Xiidra Cause A Reddish Lump On The Cheekbone?

My opthomologist gave me a sample kit of Xiidra for dry eye. I have been using it as prescribed twice a day for the past three weeks. Within the last few days I notice an enlarged area on my right cheekbone with some swelling and redness. Is this a side effect of the drug?

Hi
I have gone theough the question and understand your concern.
Xiidra doesnt not cause swelling of cheek , as its mechanism of action is completely different.
You should consult your physician for swelling.
Hope this was of help
