What Causes Swollen Bottom Lip When Diagnosed With Canker Sores?

My bottom left lip has been swollen for a month or so now. It fluctuates in size but still remains swollen and its usually worst first thing in the morning. I ve also been dealing with canker sores in my mouth and around my tongue. I m not sexually active, but I do have a very poor diet. Is there anything that matches these symptoms?

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Brief answer - Angioedema

Detailed answer - As per your query swollen bottom lip that too mainly in morning is because of angioedema. Because of poor diet and canker sores in your mouth your immunity is getting lower down. Decreased immunity, deficiency of vitamin B12, presence of canker sores poor hygiene making you susceptible for these symptoms.

Need not to worry about it. Do beta dine gargle twice daily. Rinse with alum, milk of magnesia and chicona bark are other alternative rinse to prevent canker sores. Another effective herbal remedy is using licorice root as it is an anti- inflammatory and tissue healer.

Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing, flossing and use of antimicrobial mouth wash.Your symptoms will resolve in one or two weeks. Take multivitamin tablet rich in vitamin B12.
