The location is on the inside of my upper lip. The artery is slightly enlarged and I can feel it pulsating I do not have high blood pressure. No fever. I have had ulcers in my mouth after I drink lemon in water. You can see slightly it raised which again is under my top lip.When I say raised, I mean it looks like a small bump enlarged under my top lip.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details.
* The possible issue is due to post effect of mouth ulcer, the condition in which body`s
mechanism is to raise the blood supply of the particular regions for faster recovery.
* My guidelines at present
- Drink more liquids.
- Consume high fiber diet.
- Avoid constipation.
- No medications required at present as there is no redness or pain suggestive of acute
inflammation.
- Avoid those food stuffs which require more efforts to chew.
* Keep close watch over the same and do follow up after 3 days about the progress or
early as per the need.
Wish you best health.
Take care.
