[talk] IU, the story of suffering from aftereffects in the Philippines

With the caption, “I’m taking prescription medications like antibiotics and my hands and feet are swollen,” he showed his efforts to manage his condition by saying, “I hope my face won’t swell up too much tomorrow.”

Fans who saw this expressed their concern, saying things like, “You’re not in good condition, you must have had a hard time,” and “Take care of yourself and be active for a long time.”

Facial swelling after taking antibiotics can be an allergic reaction to the antibiotics or a side effect.

Allergic reactions to antibiotics can manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms, including skin rashes, itchiness, and swelling. Facial swelling can also occur due to electrolyte imbalances or interactions with other medications. However, this swelling usually goes away within one to two weeks after stopping the medication.

Meanwhile, IU successfully completed her world tour concert at the Philippine Arena Bulacan in June.
