Brief Answer: Looks like angioedema , oral allergy syndrome Detailed Answer: Hi Thanks for writing to health care magic. From your history and photo it looks like allergic reaction to insect bite or food . You need to continue the present medication and if it doesn't subside you may be required to start short course of oral prednisolone at 10 mg per day for 2 to 3 days. Get allergic profile tested by skin prick or specific IgE Elisa after consulting allergy specialist in your area Regards Dr Arun
