Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry and swollen lips which seems to be due to smoking crystal meth as it can cause hypersensitivity and allergic reaction in few people who are sensitive to it. Need not to worry. I would say you not to use of this substance at all as it can cause short as well as long term symptoms in your body. You should take tablet Cetirizine to prevent inflammation. Apply cold compresses on lips and such on ice pops. Drink plenty of water to reduce its effect. Avoid sharp and spicy food. Keep applying moisturizing agent on lips to prevent them from drying. Take multivitamin tablet as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
