How To Treat An Allergic Reaction Caused On The Lip Followed By A Cartilige Like Mass?
Hello I recently was treated for an allergic reaction that caused my lower lip to swell. I was on Benadryl which helped swelling decrease a bit. I now have a round cartilige like mass in my bottom lip causing a lot of pain and it is keeping my lip swollen.
