What Causes Abdominal Bloating After Taking An Emergency Contraceptive Pill?

Hello, I took an emergency contraceptive 2 days ago and have begun to feel a bit bloated and now there is a swollen lymphnode behind my ear! Is that because of the plan b pill? It s only on one side! How long should I wait before seeing a medical professional?

Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Bloating is due to gastritis caused by pill. No need to worry and you can take antacid drugs like pantoprazole or ranitidine for the same.
Swollen lymph node is unrelated to the pill could be due to dental caries or some minor infections in your oral cavity.
Thanks
