Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I had gone through your question and I can understand your concern.
The swelling you didn't mention, right side of what. Was it leg, arm, face or any other region but anyways it seems to me allergic reaction and you must avoid the taking of drug immediately.
Swelling related issue of drug is a serious concern, you must visit a general physician for further evaluation.
If your swelling increases you need to have a state infusion of HYDROCART injection.
Hope my answer will help you.
Regards
