Hence, we should avoid self medication and try as much as possible to seek medical care from a professional such as a pharmacist and a doctor.

You are correct, so many have died from self medication from drug overdose. Seems you are very conversant with health, hope I can ask questions cos i have many lol

@lover-boy yes of course, I am here to reply your questions

I have been having this swell in my public area, i don't know what caused it, I'm finding it difficult to seat at time, have tried using antibiotics, but it juts goes and comes again.

Any ideas on what I can do?

First, it is wrong to use various antibiotics without prior knowledge of what caused the swelling. This can cause antimicrobial resistance in the future. I would suggest you see a doctor and do the appropriate test .

Is it possible you are allergic to some foods or insects? do you have multiple sexual partners? Do you practice clean and proper hygiene? various reasons could be possible, the reason you should see a doctor asap

@gorgeousg thank you I will contact a doctor and carry out a test my able pharm!

yes it is very necessary. Thanks
