What Is The Cause Of A Swollen Upper Lip When On Tylenol And Motrin?
My 9 year old has been complaining of a toothache since Friday. Have treated home with alternating doses of Tylenol and Motrin. Also put "Red Cross toothache" medication on tooth for one minute. It's mostly eugenol oil. Now his upper lip is swollen on this side of his mouth. Is this an allergic reaction? How should I treat until I see my pediatric dentist in the morning ?
