Since these symptoms of swelling, pain, and laceration of the lower lip occurred after being struck in the head....sounds like an injury either following a sporting incident or assault/accident....then, the answer to your question is YES...The head injury could affect you in these ways. Not sure why you would take Benadryl for this type of picture since it is NOT anti-inflammatory or even analgesic...perhaps, you took it to try and get to sleep due to the effect it causes of drowsiness? I'm happy to give you additional insights and opinions if you'd like to upload a photograph of your face to: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi Please rate this a 5 STAR ENCOUNTER.
