What Causes Swelling In Lips After Taking MDMA?

Hi. I took MDMA or molly last night. I've done it before and when I do it, I tend to gurn my mouth which results in cuts inside my cheeks. However, this time, I sucked and bit on my lips so much that they got swollen. My lips look like I ate something I'm allergic to. I know that it wasn't an allergic reaction but me biting my lips. Even my friends kept telling me that I needed to stop biting my lips. I've been icing them all day and I just took a dosage of menstral cramp pills since I figured it could help with the swelling. What else would you suggest I take to help reduce the swelling? I know time will heal them but when practical advice can you give to reduce the swelling? PS- the menatral cramp pills seem to have helped reduce the swelling after 30min of taking them. Thank you for your help (:

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain MDMA or molly is a Psychoactive drug and it gives an Euphoric, and empathic feeling and the feeling of peacefulness..

The first thing which I would like to tell you is that this drug should not be taken as long term use can lead to addiction and can have adverse effects on the body..

In case if you have bitten your lips so hard that they got traumatized and swollen then it is further harmful for you to avoid this drug as at some time it can lead to serious self inflicted injury..

You should keep doing ice packs..
For pain relief you can take Advil for relief from inflammation and pain..
In case of open lacerations or wounds you can apply antiseptic cream like Neosporin or Soframycin over the wound..
If there is redness and burning Hydrocortisone cream can be applied..

Avoid hot and spicy food as it can cause irritation..
Try to keep the lips clean and free of infection..
To prevent infection in case of open wounds a short course of antibiotics can be taken..

Hope this information helps..
