Alllergic Reaction to Ibuprofin
Some medicines can be fatal especially for anyone who does not think that they are allergic to a particular component of a drug. Just this evening, i woke up to the call of a roommate asking me if her bf can come in and lay down in her bed because his whole face was swollen. Of course why not! And indeed his face was really swollen. Almost no more space in the eye slits. After seeing him in that state, i fall asleep again. I was exeperiencing a normal reaction to anti-histamine. I was dead sleepy.
Now I am awake but i can still feel heaviness in my body. But my eyes are not droopy. I just had dinner with them.
In the course of the meal, we talked about how the swell started and good thing the swell did not include his respiratory system. He then remembered that years back he too had an allergic reaction to Ibuprofin and he took one again today because he forgot about that incident.
As of this writing, he looks okey now. He eye slits look better now.
So warning, there might be some of you out there who is allergic to Ibuprofin. If you need to take pain relievers, then use Mefinamic acid.
