About a month ago I took (3) ibuprofen and also had a nice dinner. About 3 hours later I noticed my eyes and part of my lower lip slightly getting swollen. I noted it and wrote down what I ate for dinner and that I took some ibuprofen. This morning my right foot was aching and I took (3) ibuprofen and about 3 hours later I again noticed that my eye and part of my lower lip was getting swollen. So now I can conclude I now am allergic to ibuprofen when before I was not. Anyone else have this allergy ??? Thanks for reading. God Bless !!!  "Always legally conceal carry.

I took penicillin for 19 years and then one day , I had an allergic reaction. My little one had a reaction to penicillin when he was 11.

No, you can't conclude that you are allergic to ibuprofen. You can say you have a medical problem that needs diagnosis. Definitely avoid ibuprofen until you have a valid diagnosis, but don't jump to conclusions. On its face, it's quite possible that you have an allergic reaction, but it's not necessarily ibuprofen, and if you're having a significant reaction or signs or symptoms, you need to get a medical professional to diagnose the problem. It may be ibuprofen. It may be something associated with it. It may be something entirely different. It may be a bad batch of ibuprofen. It may be a component, or you may have an allergy or reaction to a family of medicine. It's important to know, not guess. You need to see a medical professional about this, and discuss your suspicion, and get direction to determine exactly what is going on. If you are allergic to ibuprofen (have you taken it in the past and never had this reaction?), then you may also be reactive to aspirin and other medications. Know, don't guess. If you guess wrong, you jeopardize your health when the condition or compound or item that triggered this, does it again. What if it's your airway, next time? Find out. | |||

I think you are overusing Google. Go to your doctor if you have concerns. | |||

You say 3 Ibuprofen, that seems like a lot. What strength? Perhaps you are over doing it? https://www.icliniq.com/articl...upplements/ibuprofen Calgary Shooting Centre | |||

3 ibuprofen is not a lot. They come in stronger doses by prescription. 3 works a lot better than 2. _________________________ 2nd Amendment Defender The Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. | |||

The corpsman used to issue 3 800mg ibuprofen like candy in the service…so much so that it was called “vitamin M” "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

It's a pretty good indication that ibuprofen is what I am now allergic too. The (3) different times over the last 3 months this has occurred the ibuprofen is the common item. Upon taking the ibuprofen about 2 hours I start to notice my eyes getting slightly puffy and part of my lower lip. Last time I took a benadryl to counter the effects, this time I waited and found it will only last about 2 hours and then slowly subside. The next time I have my physical with my doctor I will bring it up to him. God Bless !!!
