Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lips And Itchy Roof Of Mouth
My son went camping last weekend, waking with chafed swollen lips, and itchy roof of mouth. I gave him Benadryl, and hydrocortisone for his lips. This helped, but did not take it completely away. Same symptoms persisting this morning. What should I do?

Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
It seems your son has got angioedema involving lips. This is a swelling involving deeper tissues than skin and usually it takes a few days to disappear.
I would suggest you to give your son an oral antihistamine & montelukast daily for 3-7 days depending upon response.
Hope this will help you.
Wish your son a fast recovery and best of the health.
Regards.
