Question 1

i have inner cheek swelling swollen salivary glands. upper lip swelling. numbness. back left side of tongue. have sore?

Accepted Answer

: You should see an ENT doctor as soon as possible.

Question 2

do i use straw if lip swelling?

Accepted Answer

Sounds good to me: Using a straw sounds like a good idea to me. I think you'd want to minimize "stress" to the lip and using a straw might help.

Question 3

what to do if my lip swelling so sudden?

Accepted Answer

Need clarification: Could be a few different causes of lip swelling. For example herpes simplex (cold sore) causes lip to enlarge and swell, but  it is usually accompanied with pain and tingling. If you had a trauma (were hit eg.) on the mouth it would likely swell. And if you had recent dental work your lips could possible swell. Also allergies can cause lip swelling as can inflammation, infection near lip. See dr.

Question 4

lip swelling often happens to me, and i don't know why?

Accepted Answer

An allergy?: Maybe an allergic reaction.  Please try and be aware of exactly what you are eating or touching with your lip before it starts.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: lip swelling?

Accepted Answer

Swelling of lip: Lip swelling is a non-specific sigh. It must be evaluated for diagnosis.
See an oral surgery. Or ENT doc.

Question 6

how can you reduce lip swelling from coldsore?

Accepted Answer

Ice the lip: You can ice your lip but a cold sore is a virus.  You should start putting abreva (over the counter) on the lip.  You could get a prescription antibiotic from your doctor.  Generally, Acyclovir is recommended.  Keep in mind most cold sores last 7-10 days.

Question 7

how do you reduce lip swelling when its from a piercing?

Accepted Answer

Could be infection: My concern in this case would be bacterial infection or activation of a dormant cold sore (herpes simplex infection). It's possible swelling could result from an allergic reaction to products used on the site or even a component of the metal or other material the piercing object is composed of. A cold compress helps if it's simply a reaction to being pierced, but other causes might not be helped.

Question 8

what causes random eye, lip swelling and knotts on forhead?

Accepted Answer

Allergy?: Your description could be related to an allergic reaction.  I would see your regular doctor or an allergist as soon as possible.

Question 9

what to do for lip swelling?

Accepted Answer

Lip swelling: You need to determine the cause, it can be an allergic reaction to a food or drug, a topical allergic reaction, a manfestation of a hereditary disease or angioedema. See an allergist and find out the cause. Oral steroids usually help with the swelling.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Swelling: There are a lot of things that can cause this.   Some medications are especially relevant.  Also topical products.  Need more information for a more exact answer.
