Can swollen tongue and lower abdominal pain be the side effects of using tramcinolone cream on body?
Patient: Hi,  I am a school nurse in an elementary school.  i had a teacher approach me this morning stating that she has been mistakingly using tramcinolone cream (0.1%) on her face and body for two months.  She is experiencing symptoms such as mild lip and tongue swelling, acne and pain/discomfort in the front, lower portion of her abdomen on both sides (ovarian?)   Any recommendations? Doctor: Hi.It is unlikely that this cream can cause such problems unless patient is having uncontrolled diabetes.Please ask her to undergo tests of blood- routine, urea, creatinine, T3-T4 and TSH.. It would wise to see a Doctor , who can clinically examine her and order further investigations. Of course ask her to stop the ointment.
