Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Swelling Inside Cheek And Eyelid

Yesterday I had a sudden novacaine feeling of numbness inside rt cheek with swelling and felt it spread to my gums. I took Benadryl and it went away in the afternoon. This morning my rt lower side of lip was swollen. Again I took Benadryl and it went away after a couple of hours. Now I have swelling rt inner corner of eye and upper eyelid. I just took another 25mg Benadryl.
