How To Treat An Allergic Reaction Caused On The Lip Followed By A Cartilige Like Mass?
Hello I recently was treated for an allergic reaction that caused my lower lip to swell. I was on Benadryl which helped swelling decrease a bit. I now have a round cartilige like mass in my bottom lip causing a lot of pain and it is keeping my lip swollen.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The swelling in the mouth following allergic reaction which is being treated.
Small swelling in the bottom of the lip is may be due to allergic manifestation,injury or ulcer.
The cause should be found out first and then treatment is given.
I would have suggested
1. Apply cold pack on the swelling
2.Clean the mouth with antiseptics
3.Oral Analgesics and Antihistaminics
4.If there is any signs of infection antibiotics as a role.
Medicine should be taken after consultation with your doctor.
Thank you.
