Does Valtrex Cause Swelling In The Throat?
Wife took Valtrex beginning on 12/26. Took for 7 days. Finished two days ago. Has some swelling on one side of her throat inside. Read online that it looks like that might be a symptom of an allergic reaction and to seek emergency medical attention. Since last dose was a couple days ago, is that still necessary at this point. Thank you.
