I began treatment this past month and of course least of my problems as I only leave house for doc appt and extremely sick, but my eyes are terribly swollen. How you know if its herx or reaction to antibiotic or what ? I did read about being swollen as a symptom or herx. What do others think. I've been on amoxicillin i should add. Thanks

Are you taking JUST amoxicillin?

You have to consider everything new you are taking, including supplements. Even new hair dye can cause swollen eyes!

I would not call swollen eyes a herx symptom at all. I would think allergy. Lots of people are having their allergies act up this month thanks to an early spring.
