Sunburn On Face, Eye And Face Swollen, Taken Anti Histamine Tablet And Ibuprofen. Medicine?
I have sunburnt my face quite badly. My eyes are all swollen and also my face. I feel like my whole face and lips have been botoxed. I have taken a anti histamine tablet and ibuprofen and put cold compresses on my face and eyes but woke up this morning and it is as bad as it was yesterday. Any idea what else I can try? I am going on holiday next week to greece.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
For sunburns, you can apply ice packs and vinegar on the affected area to correct the burning and stinging sensation. Avoiding sun exposure and applying lacto calamine lotion in the area will also be helpful. It will take 5-7 for improvement to take place.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
