What Causes Swelling And Tingling Sensation In The Lips And Tongue?

I am experiencing lip swelling, tingling lips and tongue. A persistent cough, very little mucus, and now the left side of my head hurts when I have a coughing spell. The pain is almost unbearable on the side of my head..
Of course with all the coughing I have raspy and loss of voice. Talking makes symptoms worse.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query, you have swelling and tingling sensation in the lips and tongue which could be due to the initial stage of Bell's palsy, diabetes, and vitamin deficiency and could be other systemic causes.

I would suggest you start a low dose steroid immediately. For now, give a gentle massage to your lips with olive oil or almond oil and take half spoon of cinnamon powder in the glass of water to improve blood flow.

Consult oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and go for complete blood tests, CT scan Or MRI of brain and get it treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
