Swelled

It swelled but went away. Will this get better or worse. Should I have a major concern ## Hello, Dave! How are you? Yes, you should be concerned. There is a chance that might be due to an allergic reaction and, if that is the case, they tend to worsen with repeated exposure to medication that caused it, according to the NIH. Thus, it would be best to consult your doctor to have this checked out. Letting it get worse could result in swelling that prevents you from breathing. Has there been any change?

Got a bad sinus infection swelled up bad will they help ## Hello, Kel! How are you? I'm sorry about the sinus infection. Tetracycline is an antibiotic that can be used to treat various types of bacterial infections, so you should take it as instructed by your doctor. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. However, this one is most commonly used to treat acne and skin infections, so it may not be appropriate for all infections and you shouldn't take it, if your doctor hasn't instructed you to do so. Is there anything else I can help with?

I took omaprazole last night and got very sick then my tongue and pallet swelled with my tongue burning and the roof of my mouth burning. I am allergic to FD&C yellow 5 and 6. Is this the name for yellow 10 and why do they put this into medicine when so many asthmatics have this allergy? The FDA should ban all colors in pills to help with this and make drug companies stamp the name of the drug on the pill or some other type of identification. ## No, FD&C Yellow 5 and 6, are Yellow 5, and Yellow 6, Yellow 10 is a different one, that's why they are numbered like that, to tell them apart. Many companies have been removing the colors, due to the fact that some people are sensitive, or allergic to them. The FDA didn't ban them, because overall, they are generally considered s...

So my adipex got wet and I can't get a refill on them. But they swelled up and turned blue. When you pick them up they fall apart. Is it ok to still take them as they are since they are kinda mushy and just drink it with something or mix it in and drink it? Thank u for any help. ## Given the condition they are in, the best thing to do would be to dispose of them, and consult your doctor about possibly obtaining a replacement prescription. It might even help, if you took them mushy remains in to show them, or at least showed them pictures. After getting wet, swelling, and getting mushy, there is a high likelihood that they have lost efficacy, and will no longer work as they should. Adipex is most commonly used to aid in weight loss. According to FDA reports its side effects may inclu...

Since my pharmacist changed the brand I'm getting my feet and legs have swelled considerably. I didn't notice the swelling at first, so am not sure if there's something else that's changed with other products I use, but I don't think so. Could it be this brand of gabapentin that is causing the swelling? ## Hello, Slinnie! How are you? What else do you take and what are your medical conditions? Gabapentin can cause peripheral edema, though it is very rare. Have you consulted your doctor? It's very important that you do so to get to the root of the problem, since it could also be the sign of a serious medical issue.

Can my 12 year old boy take Ardosons capsules? He twisted his ankle and it's swelled. Pls let me know. ## Hi Rosa, Because the ingredients found in Ardosons are given by prescription-only here in the US, I can only recommend that you contact a doctor who can evaluate your son's condition in person and make an appropriate decision after reviewing his medical records and other pertinent details that may influence the course of treatment. I understand that in Mexico these types of medications have looser restrictions than the US, but to ensure your child's safety I think it would be worth your while to seek out a professional opinion. Just for your own information, the active ingredients found in Ardosons are: Indomethacin (which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) + Betameth...

I found out that I was allergic to this when my dentist put desensitizer on my teeth...my lips swelled like a duck! I am also a scrub nurse and been having trouble with the CHG scrub and the cavacide....

Any chance you could help me with a relation between this drug and any others? ## You would actually be better served to see an allergist/immunologist, so you can be tested for specific allergens, and discover what to avoid. For example, there is a chance you might be allergic to an additiv...
