Reaction for numbnil

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

My mother was given numbnil ointment to apply on her feet for numbness due to diabetes. However, the night after she has applied, she got severe allergy . Her cheeks were completely swollen and there was some itching on head too. Is it a common side effect for numbnil? Apart from this, she has not used or eaten anything new that day which could have caused this allergy.
