What Causes Swelling In The Lips?

I have a fever and my lips randomly swelled up at
Around 10:30 pm. It is 10:01 am and the swelling went down a little. My mom just got me an ice pack to put on them about 15 minutes ago (I am 13). I don't know why and I do not want to go to the doctor. Please help! Thanks (:

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling of lips and fever which seems to be due to allergic angioedema of the lip. Need not to panic about it. I would suggest you to take anti-allergic medicines such as Diphenhydramine or levocetrizine for quick recovery. Take anti-inflammatory painkiller medicine like Ibuprofen. You should do cold compresses over the lip. Don't bite it and suck it as it will cause lip biting. Drink plenty of fluids. apply moisturizer on lips. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
