What Causes Itching And Swelling In The Inner Cheeks, Gums And Lips?

Beginning two days ago, I had a sore throat. For the last two days, I have had itching and swelling of the inner cheeks, gums and lips during and after eating. I can feel striations on the inside of my cheeks, though I have not had any trauma to the area. My throat currently mildly sore. I m probably a little dehydrated (dark urine), though I m not especially thirsty. What might this be?

Hello dear, since sore throat is most commonly caused by virus so these can be symptoms or associated viral exanthema. It must resolve within 3-5 days but if it persists u must visit a physician .
If they are itchy u can take antihistamines like avil or cetrizine.
Wait for 2-3days than review the condition.
Hooe it will be helpful to you.
