My son received has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He received his second depot injection on Tuesday. Today his lips smelled very badly and he had a pain in his jaw. He had admitted to smoking marijuanan. Could that have caused the reaction?

Hello,

His symptoms could be an allergic reaction. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam. A tooth infection can not be excluded either, considering the jaw pain. Consulting with a dentist may be needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
