Hi..
Thanks for the query..

The symptoms are appearing due to side effects not medication or can be due to other causes like chronic tooth infection..
Sinus infection can also be a cause..
Be the for confirmation you should get a clinical examination done..
As you are not having pain do not take any medication until the cause is narrowed down..
However you can do warm saline gargles and apply cool packs over the swollen area..

Hope this helps..

Regards .
