What can i do to reduce puffiness of my face?
Patient: hi i have been taking cleocin since 1230 on wednesday prescribed to take 2 initially, followed by another 2 after 6 hours now i am taking 1 every six hours the problem side of my face has steadily swollen to the point where the puffiness has reached my eye can i do anything to reduce my problems Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicIf the swelling has occurred as a reaction to the use of the antibiotics then you may need to contact your doctor about an alternative.The use of an antihistamine would help to reduce the swelling if related to an allergic response. Anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen/naproxen/cataflam may also be helpful for you.You may need to see your doctor for a reassessment.I hope this helps
