Hello Toy Johnson,   You've had alot going on in a very short time! Online references like Health Central are great for getting the information you need to discuss and ask questions of your doctor about your care, but should not be taken in replacement of your doctor's sound medical advice.   Let's take a look at what you are taking. You said the swelling is not painful. It could be that you had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, and the cortocosteroids or the benedryl would have taken care of that. I would suspect the medrol pack to be the cause of the swelling because the medrol pack is Methylprednisolone, a corticosteroid. You can read about the Medrol Pack here. This page that lists the possible side effects says that this medication can cause puffiness.   Has your doctor suggested not taking anything more to see if the swelling disapates?   I hope this information helps. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!Vicki M
