My face is swollen after taking too much anti-inflammatory medicine

Anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used drugs in society. They are very important in treating many diseases or surgical situations. However, many people know that anti-inflammatory drugs are very harmful to the body. Some people will experience swelling of the face after taking too many anti-inflammatory drugs. So what causes the swelling of the face? What should we do when our face becomes swollen?

(I) Strictly follow the indications and avoid using antibiotics if possible; in addition to considering the specificity of the antibiotic's antibacterial effect, it is also necessary to understand the adverse reactions of the drug and the relationship between the in vivo process and the efficacy.

(II) Antibiotics should not be used for patients with fever of unknown cause. Except for patients with critical conditions and highly suspected bacterial infection, antibiotics should not be used for patients with fever of unknown cause, because the use of antibiotics often makes it difficult to detect pathogenic microorganisms and makes clinical manifestations atypical, affecting clinical diagnosis and delaying treatment.

(3) Antibiotics should not be used for diseases that are viral or suspected to be viral infections. Antibiotics are ineffective against various viral infections, and giving antibiotics to patients with measles, mumps, colds, influenza, etc. is harmless and useless. More than 90% of pharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viruses. Therefore, antibiotics are generally not used unless it can be confirmed that the infection is bacterial.

(IV) Avoid using antibiotics locally on the skin or mucous membranes as they can easily cause allergic reactions and lead to the production of drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, except for the main topical antibiotics such as neomycin and bacitracin, the topical application of other antibiotics, especially penicillin G, should be avoided as much as possible. When using antibiotics for burns of the eye mucosa and skin, it is important to choose the appropriate time and dosage.

(V) Facial swelling caused by the side effects of hormones. There is no good way to reduce this swelling because it is caused by abnormal fat metabolism, unless you stop using hormones.
