My Impression-Allergy to Ergot Broth/ or Hops pollen used to flavor beer mixed in the Singapore Sling Mixed Drink.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
I read your query in full details and understood your health concerns.
You seem to be worried about the cause of the lip swelling with blister,which subsided later on.
Based on the facts of the query and in My opinion,the lip tingling with mild swelling lately-is due to the food allergy to Beer hops-which is used as stability and flavouring agent in the beer/ or could be allergy to malt,which are common things to occur with beer.Besides this allergy to food articles as strawberry/ pineapple/or broth of ergot fungus used for making sling with strawberry/pineapple,may be the cause of this blister produced and of the swollen lips after the singapore sling mixed drink.

Hope this reply would help you to take needful treatment with your doctors and proper precautions before you have another Singapore Sling Mixed Drink in time to come.
Hope this reply would satisfy your query.

Brief Answer:
Persistant Lip swelling with tingling ? due to Topical medicines/Assesment

Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Persistant Lip swelling with tingling ? due to Topical medicines/Assesment
My Impression-Lip swelling / tinglling due to Topical Lip drugs used.

Hi,Dear,thanks for the update question.
As you submitted - "My lip is still tingling- but without the blister or severe swelling. What could this be caused from?",which clearly explains that the severe swelling or blister has gone and only tingling is there.
So I replied for the cause of the blister and swollen backs,2 weeks back.

Thanks for updates on the current condition-that the lip tingling and swelling is still there.
Based on the facts of the drugs used-
-The Carmex Lip Balm-used by You for the emollient action,mostly is the cause-with its continued side effects of Lip swelling and tingling-which is due to the allergic reaction to the ingredients mostly salicylic acid and chocolate butter or --Allergy to Benzocain in Anbesol gel,could be the possible cause of the persistant lip swelling with tingling of the lip.

Treatment Suggested-
Omit the Carmex lip balm and Anbesol Gel STAT-immediately.

Take following medicines with your GP doctor under his guidance and cover of script-
Inj-Dexamethasone-2 ml stat -I/M ly(Intra-Muscularly) to control the allergic effect locally
Tab Allegra-Fexofenadine-180 mg 1 daily
Tab Dexamethasone-.5 mg 1 x 2-3 times per day
Aloevera lip gel locally -frequently to reduce the chapped lip effect.
Plenty of fluids for proper hydration of the body and lips.
With this the condition would be in control in 2-5-7 days time.
Do take Dermatologist opinion if need be.

Hope this reply would resolve your query and worry/anxiety accompanied with it.

Welcome for any further query in this regard.
