> SJS is nothing to mess around with. If left to progress, it can result in irreversible tissue loss (death). Don't leave it to people here to research it for you. Seek out a good dermatologist.
Or simply stop taking the Lamictal and make decisions based upon the changes seen in the presentation of the lesions and tongue swelling. It may take several days to see a difference.
I must stress that a swollen tongue is a symptom of SJS. Along with the lesions of the skin and oral mucosa, this makes for a pretty strong case for SJS. If I were in your position, I would not hesitate to stop taking the Lamictal.
