Posted under Lip Fillers q&a

Will my lips take longer to stop swelling and risk infection if I continue taking my antibiotics? Do I stop taking them for now?

RSMember19232
I had lip fillers done yesterday and am currently on antibiotics of penicillin for tonsillitis and was advised it's not best to get it done while on these tablets but I did as I have had fillers before and didn't think it will be an issue. There hasn't been any scares such as an infection just the usual swelling and bruising but after being told this I'm worried there is a risk of getting an infection or the swelling taking longer to go down as I'm back at work in a few days. Please advise
