HI
thanks for the query.
Have you had similar problems in the past?
It could well be that you are allergic to some of the pain medications. Throat swelling and difficulty in breathing could be features of that.
If you have requirements of an analgesic in the future I suggest that you see a family doctor for the same.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
