Could Swelling Of Bottom Lip After Stents Put In Heart Be Due To Intake Of New Medication?
Hi I am with my grandfather, age 70, who had a heart attack two weeks ago. He had three stents put in and is in otherwise good shape. His bottom lip has suddenly swelled on the left side, Is this something I should worry about? He is taking new medications, could it be allergic? He has been on the meds almost two weeks now.
IF HE IS TAKING THE MEDS FOR TWO WEEKS THEN ITS UNLIKELY AN ALLERGIC RTN. PLZ STATE ALL HIS MEDS. GIVE HIM TAB DESLO 5 MG STAT. IF SWELLING PERSISTS FIX AN APPOINTMENT WITH UR DOC TO CLINICALLY EXAMINE IT ,IF OTHER SXS EG SHORTNESS OF BREATH DEVELOP, THEN GO TO THE ER IMMEDIATELY.
THANX
