Do Left-sided Swollen Lips, Post Having A Pizza, Indicate An Allergic Reaction?
Hi, I was just eating pizza w friends...nothing unusual. From a shop we frequent, no new ingredients. I didn t burn my mouth, but I could feel my lips swelling. Only on my left side. The left side of my chin feels weird, and my left cheek feels funny, and the lips are swollen, but since I took one antihistamine pill, the swelling see,s to have stopped, but hasn t really gone down. No numbness on my left side other than my face...no dizziness or slurred speech. Does this sound like an allergic reaction to something?

Ya based on your history it looks like an allergy to something youare not aware of kindly recheck all the ingredients again and see for any anchovies or nuts or milk products used &For your current allergy i would suggest you to get Hydrocortisone 100 mg injection taken & wait in hospital for observation.If condition worsens you may need adrenaline shot.Thanks to contact hcm
