Is facial swelling a normal side effect of taking Combiflam for a toothache, and how can I treat this swelling?

Asked by Male, 25 · 14 days ago

Facial swelling is not a normal side effect of Combiflam (ibuprofen and paracetamol). It could indicate an allergic reaction to the medicine or, more commonly, a sign that your tooth infection is spreading. Please stop taking Combiflam immediately. To help soothe the swelling, you can gently apply a cold compress to your cheek for 10 to 15 minutes. Most importantly, please consult a dentist or doctor right away for a proper evaluation. If you develop any difficulty breathing or swallowing, please seek emergency medical care immediately.
