What Causes Swelling And Inflammation On The Lips?
Hello My lips are massive swollen. 2 months ago I had jevederm injection & there was no issue for 2 months. My top & bottom lip is now covered in cold sores or inflammation. I have antibiotics but my lips continue to swell. It is now day 3 I am worried. Thank you.

Hello,
Besides antibiotics, I think that corticosteroids should be added in the treatment ( topical and systemic ) in order to control the swelling.
Secretions from sores also should be sent for culture in order to evaluate correctly any possible infection.
Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
