Hi, I have a question I was kissing a girl two days ago and afterwards my upper lip was swollen from the sides. I felt a tingling sensation but that went away already I still have the swelling and now my upper lip and lower lip seem to be a bit swollen what should I do?
As per your case history, you are suffering from Angioedema. My treatment advice is:
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months. 2. Take an antihistamine medicine like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days. 3. Other treatment options are oral steroid, hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
