So i got a headache and instead of having an aspirin, I decided to try advil for the first time and in a span of few minutes, My eyes looks very puffy and bloated. My eyelids and and eyebags looks swollen that if a toddler will see me they will cry. Its not painful or itchy but my face felt hard like those inflated zorb balls used for working out in gyms.
I can barely open my eyes too. My lips also look like a post surgery Meg Ryan. I look gross. On the brightside, advil does work on headaches.

@CaptAlbertWhisker so because of this you discover for the first time that you're allergic to ibuprofen. (i thought you used to take alaxan or medicol, which has ibuprofen instead of paracetamol like biogesic).
one of my siblings is the opposite to you - he's allergic to aspirin.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Sometimes it's not the molecule it's the coating.

My face is normal now. I really dont know why Meg Ryan thinks she needs to have fish lips. It really ruined her face.

@LowRiderX Fish lips trend should die. I dont know why people want to have them. I temporarily got it via allergy and I hated it.

That is odd. I wonder what it is in Advil you are allergic to? Can you take regular aspirin?

That is very frightening.
Did you seek medical attention or just wait for things to calm down?

Yes i went to the doctor. The doctor gave me two choices and the first one is to take benadryl and the second one is to just let on its own after a few days the spelling diminish a bit.
Something if there's wrong with my grammar, alexa typed this one

Hope your symptoms of allergy due to the Advil pass quickly. If not, maybe you need to see a doctor?

Stop taking that if you are allergic shift to other pill or consult a physician.
