Is Sore And Swollen Lips Caused Due To Food Allergy?
For the past couple days around my lips it has been sore and parts of my toungue. I thought around my lips wre hurting because my teeth are crooked and maybe it was rubbing against them. Then yesterday in my mouth there were some red spotchy areas that have faded. They were small cuts or something on my bottom lip too because it stung when i ate. Also an infected taste dbu on my tonue. As of today my lips are a little swollen but not splotchy.and my tounge does feel weird underneath, sensitive. Is this a food allergy?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
An allergy would normally present with swelling and itching though this can vary slightly from one person to the next.
The presence of discomfort around the tongue and lips plus small cuts may indicate a cold sore.
This is a common mouth infection. It is caused by the herpes virus 1, it is not necessarily sexually transmitted.
The initial infection would normally resolve on its own
I hope this helps
