Could The Puffiness In Eyes Be Due To Arcoxia Tablets?

I fell on my head two days ago, my left side of my head was swollen. I iced it the first day, then took Arcoxia tablets on day 2 for the anti inflammatory properties. When I woke up this morning, my right eye was puffy, could this be a side effect of the tablet I took? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to inform you that swelling around your eye is not due to medicine but due to head injury.
Swelling and discolouration around eyes is a common symptom experienced after head/forehead injury.

You should continue with ice fomentation and can continue with the anti inflammatory medicine.
The swelling will gradually subside within few days time.

If the symptoms persists, get yourself clinically examined .
I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
