What Is The Treatment For Swollen Lips?

My son just had his wisdom teeth removed at 11am today. He has taken 1 hydrocodone-isprofen 7.5-200 tablet at 3:40 this afternoon it is now 8 hours later He also took 1 tablet of pencillin at 7pm. I noticed his lower lip is slightly swollen. His upper lip is normal and he has not other symptoms. Should I be worried about an allergic reaction?

helloo..read thru ur query...i must say that its normal and that nothing to be worried in this..lower lip must be swollen because of two reasons
1)he might have bite his lip without knowing when it is numb(every1 feels to bite)
2)during extraction sometimes the forceps might have slightly caught the lip bcoz it numb v cant feel pain at that time but later when numbness is gone it might go for swelling..
so nothing to be worried in this..tell him to continue the medicines this swelling will be fine in due course...hope u are benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!
