My son had a very bad reaction to medication after starting the Rad treatments which caused his tongue to swell up and he had to go to the emergency room where they gave him 2 Benadryl shots and told him he could have taken the benadryl tablets at home to relieve the reaction. It does help to ask questions and ask why on everything and of course stay in touch with OCF.
