Hello, Shoshimom! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain.

According to the FDA, Flexeril contains the active ingredient Cyclobenzaprine and is classified as a muscle relaxant, so it likely won't help much. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Some cold compresses and Ibuprofen, may help, if your doctor approves.

Have you contacted your doctor, yet? Any time you have swelling like that, you should have it checked out.
