Hi there .

Ideally Ibuprofen is used to treat pain and swelling .
But in your case I thin it causing some kind of adverse reaction and is not suitable for you .

I would suggest you stop it and go for a safer analgesic likee Etoricoxib for your symptoms.

If the swelling still persists then you might have to go for an anti allergic .

I hope my advice has helped .

Good luck
I find this answer helpful
