Puffiness Of Lips, Bumps Under Tongue, Taking Benadryl. Can My Dentist Be Helpful?
I have frequent puffiness of my lips and have noticed 2-3 small bumps under my tongue and beneath my teeth. I just feel something is going on in my mouth. Benedryl seems to take the puffiness away but not the bumps. I will be seeing my dentist next week. I have already seen my family physician and she thinks its an allergy. Can my dentist be helpful?

hi,
it can be allergic as your physician has said as well as some dental infection maybe there as you have mentioned those small swellings below your teeth. There is no harm in visiting a dentist just to rule out a dental problem as he/she will clinically judge the problem.
