How should persistent eye swelling be managed following emergency treatment for a severe allergic reaction (angioedema) triggered by Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol)?
It is actually quite common for mild swelling to persist for a few days even after emergency treatment. First, please strictly avoid Combiflam, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs, as they triggered this reaction. To help soothe your eyes, you can apply a clean, cool compress for 10-15 minutes at a time. I highly recommend contacting your doctor or allergist for a follow-up; they may suggest a safe antihistamine to help the swelling subside. If you experience any difficulty breathing, swallowing, or if the swelling suddenly worsens, please seek emergency care immediately.
