HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the swelling has occurred as a reaction to the use of the antibiotics then you may need to contact your doctor about an alternative.
The use of an antihistamine would help to reduce the swelling if related to an allergic response. Anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen/naproxen/cataflam may also be helpful for you.
You may need to see your doctor for a reassessment.
I hope this helps
