Asked By:Teannie in Glendora, CA

Whole face is swollen and painful, swelling gets worse each day. My eyes are starting to swell shut. The "dr office" that did the procedure told me to take 200mg of Advil every 6 hrs. Been doing so for 3 days, not helping. Also taking 50mg Benadryl every 4hrs. Thinking of going to urgent care, but don't want to pay $100's to be told to ice and rest.
