All day today i had a headache and felt pressure in my head. I also felt discomfort in my stomach. I felt like I ate a log and it hurt really bad. I slept through most of the day because I lost my appetite so I was preety hungry and didn't have energy for anything. I try not to take painkillers of any kind, but I just coudln't take the pain naymore. So after drinking some tea and eating some fruit I took an Ibuprofen. That was around 5pm. Aroung 7 pm I felt a lot better. All the pain went away. Then I felt a tingling sensation on my upper lip. It was getting bigger(I already have full lips so it doesn't look right).Thrity minutes later I was taking a shower when I felt a bump on my bottom lip.The right side of my bottom lip was also enlarging. Now the right side of my toungue is also enlarging. What is wrong with me.I have school tomorrow, but my parents are telling me to see my doctor instead, but he won't take me without an appoitment.What do I do?I'm not alergic2ibuprofen.

Evidently you are allergic to the Ibuprofen. You may need to go to ER and get a shot to counteract it. TAKE NOTE: IF you develop a rash on your body, your face becomes flush and swells, you have trouble breathing........GET TO ER. I am deathly allergic to Aspirin and ALL of it's cousins. Nothing to play with. It can kill you. I have all those symptoms when I take something like that. Good luck. Pops
Good luck. Pops

The bumps are called hives, and they are caused by an allergic reaction. As long as you don't have any tingling sensations inside you mouth or feel like you throat is affected in any way, then the bumps are no big deal. Something like benedryl should help. If there is any type of reaction inside your mouth or throat, then its time to go to the ER - this is the beginning of anaphylactic shock.

It could be a new allergy to the motrin. You have to remember that nobody is allergic to something the first time. I would take some benedryl to see if that takes the swelling down. I would not take anymore motrin, use asprin or tylenol since they are completely different pain relievers. If you begin to have problems breathing call 911. If it stays the same call you doc in the morning. If it goes down then no more motrin for you.
