Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Lips Due To Food Allergy

I have had a sore on my lower lip for almost a month. I was eating out at the time I got it. After I ate my lip started itching and my face. I have allergies so I carry around allergy pills wit me. I took the allergy pill and it helped with the itching. No other symptoms. My lip is still swollen. It appeared t go down in size a few times but never went away completely. It is now bigger tan ever ad sometimes hurts. Do you have any ideas? Thank you.

Brief Answer: ANGIOEDEMA..

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain as you are already having allergies it is clear that you had allergy to certain food items which has led to the symptoms of itching and swelling of the lip and the condition is known as Allergic Angioedema..

You should take Allegra 6O g twice a day for 5 days..
You should take Medrol twice daily for 5 days..
Apply cold packs on the lip..
Avoid sucking or licking the lip..
Do not put pressure over the lip..

Avoid the food that caused you the allergic reaction to prevent further reactions..

In case if the condition does not improve you should consult a physician and the physician can prescribe you with tablets containing Tranexamic acid..

Hope this information helps..

If you find the answer helpful please give me a Five Star Review and click on found the answer helpful as a token of appreciation..

Thanks and regards..
