Suggest Treatment For An Allergic Reaction To Methamphetamine
I tried meth 2 days ago and I had an allergic reaction to it because my lips started swelling immediately . I went home and used my eppi pen and then I went to the emergency room 2 hours later. There they gave me an iv and a dose of benadryl . It has been 2 days since then and I be been taking benadryl to get the swelling to go away and it is not working. Is there a shot or any other medication that I can take to get the swelling to go away?

Hello,
As antihistamines didn’t provide best results. You have to get steroid shot.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
