Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It looks like an Allergic reaction that can be due to allergy to any food, medicine or environmental irritants like animal danders, pollen, trees, grasses etc.
It can cause swollen lips , mouth, throat, tightness in neck etc.
It should be taken care of as excess of throat swelling can cause choking and breathing difficulty.
So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get checked and a clinical examination and an allergy test can be done to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms.
If it is allergy then a steroid shot can be advised along with oral anti allergy medicines like Allegra 60 mg.
Avoid exposure to allergen once it is ruled out.
If there are recurrences still Immunotherapy can be advised..
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
