Hello Xylar,
From side effects review I see that facial swelling is listed, and it may fall in the group where there is a sensitivity reaction developing, especially as you have only recently started it, so do suggest you check out EARLY with your doc. If swelling of mouth tongue lips would suggest you seek urgent advice! (Like emergency room )Do not delay.
Good luck and hope you soon get the right drug combo for you to feel better.
