A member asked:

How do i reduce facial swelling? i had a bad allergic reaction and was treated at the er, i was allowed to leave but face is still swollen 12hrs later

A doctor has provided 1 answer

With medication: 48-72 hrs minimum. What medicine were you given for treatment. 12 hours is too early to see effects of therapy.
