Bottom Lip Got Numb, Swollen After Eating Ham And Bacon Sandwich. Is It Allergic Reaction ?
My bottom lip ended up getting numb almost on fire after eating a ham and bacon sandwich. My wife had sprayed the area inside the house where ants were climbing near the bread. Toward the end of the sandwich all I could taste was bug spray. Later that day it felt like a lump or blister was forming in my lip. The next day it felt a little bit better until this morning I had ham and eggs for breakfast. My lip got numb and swelled on the site again. I live in Thailand where they use msg and read about allergies. Now it also sounds like a cold sore but I have never had one and I'm 30 years old
