Suggest Remedy For Headache And Swelling In Left Eye
Hi, I was recently prescribed a small dose of 10mg of nortriptyline for tension headaches, however after taking two tablets I now had a sore swollen left eye. Is this a sign of allergic reaction and should I stop taking them immediately, or is this a side affect that will go away?

Hi welcome to HCM, Thank U for the post.
Usually allergic swellings occurs in both eyes simultaneously & associated with itching and other symptoms like rashes. so i would suggest you that it may be due to some other cause, kindly approach a ophtholmologist to find the cause.
