How To Cure Swelling Of Cheeks Caused Due To Heroin And Meth Intake?

I did a little bit of Heroine and meth at the same time and for the first time ever for each. The next day both of my cheeks are swollen enough to notice but not enough to affect my breathing or anything. But I am scared it will get worse? Or will never go away? I never plan on doing either of these drugs again. How do I get the swelling to go down? Or how long will it last?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

So sorry to hear about your problem and will try my level best to resolve it..

As per your complain it seems that swollen cheeks after consuming heroine and meth seems to be most probably due to allergic reaction to the recreational drugs that you have taken and the symptoms are all due to it..
I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be given anti allergics like Levocetrizine..
You can be advised to do cool compresses over the cheeks..
Drink plenty of water..
Abstain completely from all kinds of recreational drugs..

Any further questions are welcome..

Regards..
