thanks for your query at hcm
this might be an allergic reaction to the drug your friend is taking or it may be trauma from the adjacent teeth or may be the side effect..
you have not mentioned the duration of drug ..
i would advice your friend for thorough examination by his physician and proper blood investigations and change of drug if required..
hope it will help you..
