My face was swollen on the side of the cheekbones with numbness and burning. Please advice.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Is this the first time you have used Algofren (Ibuprofen)?
• Do you have any allergic reactions to other types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications like Aspirin?
• Do you have any fever or changes in vision?
• Do you have any pain in the mouth, or oral ulcers, or gum issues?
• Do you have any sinus pain or stuffed up face pain, or headache?
• Did you have any seafood last night?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would suggest taking Diphenhydramine (I do not know which country you are located to give you the compound) and take Medrol (Methylprednisolone) 8 mg half a tablet for three more days. You would have to get patch testing to figure out what you are allergic to. Also, keep an eye for a rash; if you develop a rash, please contact a doctor with a picture. We have to keep an eye for shingles as well. The steroids should help with both allergy, and in case it is leading towards shingles. Let me know if any further questions.

Take care.
