Hi,
It is possible that the use of Opex (also known as Cefepime) for UTI could cause an allergic reaction that leads to swelling in various parts of the body, including the face and legs. This is a known side effect of some antibiotics, and it is important to speak to your doctor immediately if you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing.
It is also important to note that swelling in the face and legs can be a symptom of other medical conditions, such as heart or kidney problems. As for the use of Avil, this is an antihistamine medication commonly used to treat allergic reactions, such as swelling.
It is important to follow your doctor's instructions for the use of this medication, including the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. In summary, if you are experiencing persistent swelling in the face and legs, it is important to speak to your doctor to determine the underlying cause and to receive appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
