Hello,

The Keflex (cephalexin) is associated with variety of side effects as:
- Abdomen pain
- Nausea, vomiting
- Loose motions
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Skin rashes
- Swelling at various body sites
- Tiredness
- Itching vagina with discharge
- Others

As there is onset of swelling and knot in corner of eye and forehead only after the drug intake, it is drug side effect and need to stop further dose consumption of the same. Kindly inform your doctor and get further assistance please.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
