How long for facial swelling from reaction to ibuprofen to subside?

What I noticed from personal experience is that the first time it swells it only happens for a couple hours. However, I didn't at first realize it was a reaction to Ibuprofen. A few times later, my upper lip swelled WAY beyond normal swelling, and remained that way throughout the night. My mom developed the same allergic reaction, and her doctor told her to never take ANY anti-inflammatories, as many of them will react the same way Ibuprofen does with your body. In addition, if you forget and you do indeed take Ibuprofen, you should call 911 and then take Benadryl, in THAT order, so help can arrive as quickly as possible, because the facial swelling can move to your throat, making it impossible to breathe.

What to do for facial swelling from sun?

For facial swelling due to sun exposure, start by applying a cool compress to the affected area for 15-20 minutes to reduce inflammation. Hydrate by drinking plenty of water and consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine or anti-inflammatory medication, like ibuprofen, to alleviate swelling and discomfort. Additionally, moisturizing the skin with aloe vera or a gentle lotion can help soothe irritation. If swelling persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional.

Can Acetaminnophen help cramp pains?

sure - a little. It's a decent pain reliever, but it does nothing from swelling / inflammation that is likely the source of the pain. Ibuprofen helps with both the pain AND the swelling. But ibuprofen is not nice to stomachs. If you're not a regular ibuprofen taker, beware of stomach pain when you take it...
