Diagnosed With Pneumonia, Swollen Lower Lip, Fever. Symptoms Due To Antibiotics Or Pneumonia?
my mother came home from the hospital after being diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday. She had 2 IV antibiotics and now is taking another antibiotic for 10 days. After 24 hours of taking the antibiotic and tylenol , she has developed a swollen lower lip . Her fever is still hovering around 100. Is this a reaction to the antibiotic or a symptom of the pneumonia?

Dear Sir / madam
Thanks for writing to us.
A swollen lip is not related to pneumonia directly. This is morel likely to be an allergic reaction. This can occur because of medicines/ foods/ supplements etc. This is an emergency. I would request you to consult your physician before giving next dose of drug.
