What Causes Swelling In The Upper Lip And Headache?
Hi I had stomach upset two days ago and I took Norflox-tz at jight time. When I woke up in the morning I noticed swelling on my upper lip from the inside of my mouth. I also suferred from headache. I stoped taking the medicine immediately. The headcahe was gown by afternoon but swelling of lips was still there. Now since yesterday I have developed mouth ulcer and the lining of my mouth is very dry and red. Any suggestions or advice on this.

Hello thanks for consulting at hcm.. You might be having angioedema of lips because as a side effect of the drug norflox-tz.. Are you allergic to it? Is it the first time you are getting it?? You take avil tablet --it is antihistaminic, thrice daily,, to stop the swelling.. and also apply topical anesthetics like anabel for the mouth ulcers..to reduce the burning sensation..Hydrate yourself well by drinking lots of water, juice and soups..So that the drug eliminates faster from body.. If the symptoms still persists ,,please consult a allergy specialist soon for a check up and treatment,,
It could be an side effect to Norflox TZ. Swelling of lip is a side effect of Norflox. Once you have stopped the drug ,It should subside.If it persisits, please see a doctor
