She reported that when she used the fixodent and other unspecified denture adhesive brands, she experienced a lot of swelling in her lips and face about an hour after applying the adhesive and inserting the dentures; she even tried the zinc free version and the same thing happened. She went to the hospital (emergency room) once and to her doctor quite a few times where she was given injections. She self treated her symptoms using ice bags. She stopped using the product "months ago" and her symptoms resolved a couple of days later.
