What Do Swelling And Itching In The Lips And Mouth Indicate?

I just emailed my doctor to ask about some symptoms I have experienced since I began using the Estradiol transdermal patch, such as lip swelling and itchiness, tingling and numbness inside my mouth and on my tongue and sometimes skin rashes. I was told this is not a gyno issue. However, none of my previous meds have changed and I've never experienced this before the patch. Do you think it could be related to the patch? Should I see another doctor for an opinion?

Swelling and itching in the lips and mouth seems to be due to allergic reaction to patches and could be due to recurrent aphthous stomatitis, dehydration, stress and intake of acidic foods. I would suggest you to visit oral physician once and get it examined completely. Start proper course of antibiotics. Chew on sugar free candies. Avoid intake of sharp and spicy food. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Suck on ice cubes. Apply numbing gel.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
