The swelling in my tongue became very intense
and I was put on a 5 day course of
prednisone while beginning daily claritin
and a nasal spray. I felt great on the prednisone, all of the swelling went away and I could eat again. A few days after stopping the prednisone the swelling started to come back and was extremely painful. I had severe pain in my tongue, chin and jaw. It was difficult for me to open my mouth, much like when I had my wisdom teeth removed.
