What Causes Crusty Eyes, Swollen Lips And Sore Throat In A 17 Year Old?

My 17 year old daughter has crusty eyes, swollen lips, and a very sore throat. Her throat is so sore, she is crying. I took her to the doctor today and she was prescribed some eye drops to help with the pain in her eyes and was told to stop taking the topical and oral medication her dermatologist prescribed for her to see if she could possibly be having an allergic reaction to the medication. I had to call back shortly after we got home because she was crying again about her sore throat. The doctor called in a prescription for a gargle that is supposed to numb the throat. It didn t work, she s still crying, and now the doctor s office is closed. Do you know what this could possibly be and is there anything else I can give to her to help her with the sore throat until the doctor s office opens tomorrow or should I take her to Urgent Care?

Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter and let me tell you that this could be allergic condition and no need to worry about this you have to be patience and assured her that this is going to be alright soon, if you go complaint the doctor then you would get the new prescription every time, and this would lengthen the course of allergic condition, have a nice day.
