Discomfort In Mouth, Swelling In Lips, Redness, Papillae, Dryness, Loss Of Sensitivity. On Oral B Mouth Rinse. What Is Wrong?

Hello,

For the last two weeks I've been feeling discomfort in my mouth. The symptoms I have noticed are:
-Slight swelling in my bottom lip inside. It looks a little redder than normal.
-Slight swelling of the tongue and papillae.
-Slight loss of sensitivity in both tongue and bottom lip inside.
-Dry lips (outside).
-Dry mouth and thick saliva when sleeping. My tongue sticks to palate and teeth.

Sweeling seems to intensify after meals and beverages.
I've been drinking plently of water, so I believe I am no dehydrated. I have also been using Labello to moisture my lips and non-alcohol Oral B mouth rinse. Still the symptonms do not go away.

Male, 35, hispanic, BMI 23.5.

Regards,

Heriberto

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that this could be an allergic reactions or can be due to xerostomia.
Get a thorough clinical examination done by the Dentist.
Apply moisturizer on lips.
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.
Avoid smoking and consumption of alcohol.

Hope you find this as helpful,
