In your situation I would probably go to the ER.
You haven't said your throat is closing, but having anything swollen around the mouth makes me very nervous something might decide to head south and close off your ability to breath.
Better safe than sorry.
It started getting better, but mom says that if my tongue swells we are going to the ER.
I wanted her to take me, but she had already taken her anxiety meds and couldnt drive, but it was not bad enough to warrent an ambulance, unless my tongue started swelling, which it never did. Yes I discontuned the antibiotic, but since I only had 3 pills out of 20 when this started, the doc decided to end the antibiotics. I cant take mold based antibiotics either, so I am tricky to treat.
Anyway, I wished I could have gone to the ER because it really was sore and the oral benadryl did very little for it, but my mom has such severe anxiety problems that she had to take her meds that morning which meant she could not drivefor several hours. I think the antibiotics are leaving my system, so I should be okay. Mom stayed up all night watching over me while I slept to make sure I didn't stop breathing.
thanx soo much,
Jojo
