Question 2

after eating salty foods like chips or popcorn my lips,  tongue and throat swell up. sometimes hard to breath. what could i be allergic to? is it bad?

Accepted Answer

It May be Serious: You need to stop eating these foods and see an allergist for an evaluation. You may be very allergic to something, either the food itself or possibly a preservative. Any time you have swelling and difficulty breathing it could be very serious and if an allergy could lead to a potentially fatal reaction. You should have Benadryl (diphenhydramine) with you at all times and take it right away if you get swelling.

Question 5

throat and tongue swelling after eating?

Accepted Answer

Allergic Reaction: Sounds like it's probably an allergic reaction to something you ate. An antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) would be helpful if it is mild. If more severe you must call an ambulance and get to an emergency room asap. 
Please make note of all the things you ate and along with your doctor figure out what may have caused it. The next time it could be much worse.

Question 6

Question 10

i've been getting swelling around my temples (above my cheek bones) after eating. the swelling last around 10 minutes then goes.

Accepted Answer

Salivary glands.: Some salivary glands get inflamed due to viral infection.
Also they may swallow due to obstruction of the  "tube" (conduct) that empties saliva into the mouth. You can test with  lemon juice as to stimulate the secretion of saliva. If you have calculus, big enough, surgery will be necessary . If virus, take medicine. See first if disappears in 7 days. If not, see a dentist.
