What Causes Swelling In Mouth And Tongue With Blister On Lip?

My sister just called me. She told me about the swelling in her mouth and tongue and that she had a fever blister on her lip. I told her it was part of the herp 1 virus, most people have it, kids get it from adults, anyway, I'm an RN, then she began saying her hands were swollen, she is on a beta-blocker, and on a water pill. Then she said about two months ago her neck swelled on both sides to the size of her fists, I asked why she didn't get checked, that she could be having some dangerous circulation issues...just curious what do you think?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the blister over the upper lip could be because of the herpes labialis. the swelling in the mouth could be because of the tooth infection or gum infection. the swelling over the neck could be cellulitis secondary to tooth infection or circulatory imbalance secondary to hypertension. consult a oral physician to rule out any infected tooth or gum causing swellling if there is an infected tooth treat it. take symptomatic treatment for herpes labialis like topical anesthetic and analgesics, consult a general physician for the swelling in the hands. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
